Intramurals
Many folks look forward to intramural leagues in college. You have a number of ways in which you can get involved in these. The four leagues you can participate in are the:


 * Fraternity/Sorority League
 * Housing League (for GT Housing Residents)
 * Independent League (other on-campus organizations, as well as just groups of friends)
 * Graduate League (Grad Students)

Each semester (fall, spring, summer) will have two phases of intramurals, each of which will feature four sports to play. The sports vary by semester. A complete listing can be found on the intramural website

Club Sports
There are a number of options to play club sports at Tech, from baseball, soccer, and lacrosse, to rowing, paintball, and rugby. Some clubs are bigger than others, and some clubs are more advanced than others, but you're encouraged to check out any of them that interest you. A list of clubs and their people to contact can be found here.

Varsity Sports
Numbers would suggest that if you're reading this, you're more than likely not classified as a Division-I athlete as most of our school's football, basketball, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, and golf players are. However, hopefully you have an interest in seeing some of them play.

Football Ticketing
You can go to any school sporting event for free, guaranteed, except for football. Football is a special case in that there is a very high demand for tickets, so while you can go for free, the only way to guarantee yourself a seat is to purchase a season ticket each fall. They're typically $7 per game, which is an incredible rate for the location of the seats. If you purchase a season ticket, you will do so within a "block", so that you're constantly sitting with the same people at each game. There are blocks for fraternities and sororities, housing organizations, other campus organizations (including the Swarm), as well as the general student section ("Helluva Student Ticket" Group). Tickets are typically sold in the fall in 4 groups of 1,500 seats. The first group is opened to students with 90+ hours accumulated, and then following days see tickets opened to groups of students with 60+, 30+, and 0+ hours, respectively. Regardless of how far you've progressed through school, you will have an opportunity to purchase tickets.
