DePauw offers more than 100 student organizations, including intramural sports, college and student-sponsored musical and theatrical productions, and local chapters of national organizations such as [[Circle K International|Circle K]].{{citation needed|date=October 2015}}

Many students engage in [[community service]] and other volunteer activities. Putnam County [[Relay For Life]] is organized by students and brings together the college and community.

The Boulder Run has become a tradition at DePauw University. Students, [[streaking]] from their respective residences, run to and from the Columbia Boulder, located in the center of the campus near the East College building. Another campus tradition, [[campus golf]], requires a [[golf club (equipment)|golf club]] and a [[tennis ball]]. Players attempt to hit their [[tennis ball]] against various targets on campus within a number of strokes.

===Greek life===

DePauw's Greek system began just eight years after the founding of Indiana Asbury College in 1837. Several chapters were founded in the 19th century. Women were first admitted to Indiana Asbury in 1867, and the first Greek-letter fraternity for women soon followed. Just under 70% of students at DePauw are affiliated with a Greek-letter organization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.depauw.edu/studentacademiclife/greek/gogreek/ |title=Go Greek |website=DePauw University |access-date=November 26, 2018 |archive-date=November 27, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181127022623/https://www.depauw.edu/studentacademiclife/greek/gogreek/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The Greek community consists of more than a dozen national social fraternities and approximately ten sororities. Some Greek-letter organizations were founded at DePauw.

In 2006, the [[Delta Zeta]] sorority chapter at DePauw University became embroiled in controversy for deactivating certain members based on their perceived attractiveness. The controversy made national headlines, resulting in the chapter's closing and various legal actions.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/education/25sorority.html |title=Sorority Evictions Raise Issue of Looks and Bias |author=Sam Dillon |work=The New York Times |date=February 25, 2007 |access-date=February 25, 2007 |archive-date=January 19, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170119215824/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/25/education/25sorority.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031200384.html |title=DePauw Cuts Ties With Troubled Sorority |author=KEITH ROBINSON, Associated Press |newspaper=The Washington Post |date=March 12, 2007 |access-date=March 12, 2007 |archive-date=October 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171002022812/http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031200384.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
