CAMPUS RECREATION
Our Campus Rec Program offers students engaging ways to stay active and get involved with the campus community. From intramural leagues and one-off tournaments to fitness classes and off-site excursions, there is something for everyone, regardless of ability. Join 70% of the student body as a participant, teammate or cheerleader at the many activities scheduled each semester.
GREEK LIFE
Leaders. Professionals. Advocates. These are the individuals who emerge from Greek life at Ripon College. Made of three sororities and four fraternities, our Greek community provides unique opportunities for personal growth and lifelong bonds. Though our campus may be small, the impact and achievements of our chapters are anything but.

CENTER FOR DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
We believe all members of our Ripon community should feel affirmed, validated, and seen. Since 2015, the Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI) has served as a transformative space on campus for programming, conversation and support. Everyone is welcome, regardless of race, sexual orientation, religion, or any other aspect of who you are.

Army Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC)
Ripon’s ROTC program offers a variety of advantages over most ROTC programs across the nation. Ripon College supports all students exploring a military career and offers bonus incentives to students who earn ROTC scholarships. ROTC scholarships cover full tuition and fees while Ripon College will further cover a student’s room and board. Students who receive only a three-year scholarship (sophomore to senior years covered) will have their freshman year’s tuition and fees covered by the College as well.
