===Fraternity and sorority life===
{{main|Clemson University fraternities and sororities}}

The university's [[fraternities and sororities]] system is somewhat different from other large universities in the southern U.S. in that there are no Greek houses on campus, although there are residence halls designated for fraternities and sororities. There are a few fraternity houses off campus. The remaining sororities' on-campus housing is on the other end of campus, in what is commonly referred to as "the horseshoe" in Smith and Barnett Halls.

In 2017, 15% of men and 31% of women were involved in Greek life, out of 19,825 undergraduate students.<ref name="Fall 2017 Greek Life Grade Summary">{{cite web | title= Fall 2017 Grade Summary | url=http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/fraternity-sorority-life/documents/Fall%202017%20Grade%20Summary.pdf |access-date=May 3, 2018}}</ref> While the required GPA to join Greek life is 2.7, the mean GPA of each sorority was above the all-university mean.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clemson.edu/campus-life/fraternity-sorority-life/|title=Fraternity and Sorority Life - Clemson University Student Affairs|access-date=11 January 2017}}</ref>

===Military heritage===
The university is home to detachments for [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] and [[United States Air Force|U.S. Air Force]] [[Reserve Officers' Training Corps]] (ROTC) as well as a host school for the [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marine Corps]] [[Officer Candidates School (United States Marine Corps)#Platoon Leaders Class|PLC]] program adjacent to the Semper Fi Society.

In addition to students from the university, these organizations also serve students from [[Anderson University (South Carolina)|Anderson University]], [[Southern Wesleyan University]], [[Bob Jones University]],  and [[Tri-County Technical College]]. The university's AAS squadron was selected to be home of Arnold Air Society's National Headquarters for the 2005–2006 year and again for the 2006–2007 year.<ref name="Arnold Air Society">{{cite web | title=Student Achievements | url=http://business.clemson.edu/news/bragging/news_brag_students.htm | access-date=June 20, 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090525094658/http://business.clemson.edu/news/bragging/news_brag_students.htm | archive-date=2009-05-25 | url-status=dead }}</ref> The C-4 Pershing Rifles have won the national society's drill meet nine times: 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2017.<ref name="Arnold Air Society" />

[[File:TheTigerClemson1917.png|thumb|Logo from [[The Tiger (newspaper)|''The Tiger'']] Vol. XII No. 25 on May 2, 1917]]

Founded in 1907, [[The Tiger (newspaper)|''The Tiger'']] is the oldest student-run newspaper in South Carolina. ''The Tiger'' is printed biweekly, on Thursdays, and maintains a staff of over 30 senior members and contributing staff.<ref>{{cite web|title=About Us|url=http://www.thetigernews.com/about.php|work=The Tiger News|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130204112131/http://www.thetigernews.com/about.php|archive-date=2013-02-04}}</ref>

Tigervision, Clemson's student-run TV station, broadcasts on channel 88 on the university's campus cable network. The station was created in 1994 under the name Clemson Cable Network by students at [[WSBF-FM]]. In 2007, CCN was reorganized into Clemson Television and began to produce student comedy shows and air public domain films. In 2014, CTV was renamed Tigervision to coincide with its switch to high-definition broadcasting.{{Citation needed|date=February 2024}}

''The Pendulum'' is a student-run international affairs magazine. It was established in 2014. It publishes twice a year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.clemsonpendulum.org|title=The Pendulum|access-date=11 January 2017}}</ref>

''The Chronicle'' is a literary art magazine that publishes biannually. It was founded in 1897.<ref>{{cite web|title=About The Chronicle|url=https://www.facebook.com/pg/ClemsonChronicle/about/?ref=page_internal|work=Chronicle}}</ref>

[[WSBF-FM]] was founded in 1958 and made its first broadcast on April 1, 1960. In the beginning, WSBF's content was mostly agriculture education shows and classical music. By the mid-1960s, the station began to air sports programs such as ''The Frank Howard Show'' along with the news. The station would eventually shift to a "progressive" format where it focused on new, up-and-coming contemporary music groups. During the 1980s, the format would shift gradually to the station's current "alternative" format. WSBF plays a variety of genres, including jazz, rap, punk, rock, and folk, focusing on independent artists. The station broadcasts to the Clemson area and upstate South Carolina on 88.1 FM and online.<ref>{{cite web|title=History of WSBF|url=https://wsbf.net/#/history|work=WSBF}}</ref>

''TAPS Yearbook'' was established in 1907 after members of the Clemson College Chronicle, the literary arts magazine at the time, wanted to publish a new book printed annually. It is named after the bugle call "Taps," which was played each night when cadets went to bed during the college's time as a military school. Each edition of ''TAPS'' contains student portraits, information on student organizations, and reviews of the past year's events.<ref>{{cite book |title=TAPS Yearbook|date=2011|pages=357}}</ref> The end of the 2017–18 academic year was the final edition of the yearbook.<ref>{{cite web|title=Final edition of TAPS yearbook on sale, move to quarterly magazine outlined|url=http://newsstand.clemson.edu/mediarelations/final-edition-of-taps-yearbook-on-sale-move-to-quarterly-magazine-outlined/|work=TAPS}}</ref>
