One of my favorite ways to be active on campus is through intramural sports. I have played on my fraternity's flag football team and I am currently the captain of our softball team. The great thing about intramural sports is that there are different leagues for different levels of talent. For example, I am not good enough to play on my fraternity's soccer or basketball team in the Greek league. However, if I wanted to I could create my own team to play for fun in the B league for each sport.
Intramural sports are a great option for athletes who wish to still play competitive sports but did not want to commit to being a varsity athlete in college. For example, I could have played baseball at a small college, but I wanted to go to a big school with big sports programs. So, I decided to retire from baseball and begin my softball career.
At a school like Clemson (#1 Jock School), the intramural sports are very competitive because there are many fantastic athletes. Therefore, winning the intramural championship is very difficult. Students really enjoy intramurals, and they take them very seriously. I think they are the perfect level of competition for students who want to focus on school yet still participate in competition in the sports they have grown up playing.
