Intramural Sports
How do you want to play?
Intramural sports are popular on campus, including leagues and one-day events throughout the academic year. You can participate in flag football, soccer, softball, inner-tube water polo, cross country and dodgeball — just to name a few. Whether you’re in it for the fierce competition or just for the friendly camaraderie, you’ll find a team to fit.
Club Sports
Club sports offer you a chance to continue your interests from high school or to pick up a new one, while competing against other colleges and universities. There are 23 club sports organizations, including figure skating, crew (rowing), cricket, rugby, Ultimate Frisbee, cycling, fencing and martial arts.
Varsity Sports
Carnegie Mellon sponsors 19 Division III varsity sports teams. The Carnegie Mellon Tartans consistently compete on a high level, with teams and individual athletes routinely continuing on to post-season competition.
Fraternity & Sorority Life
Every fraternity and sorority at Carnegie Mellon shares a commitment to excellence — as people, for the community, in academics and for the well-being of every member. Yet, like the people who make our community great, no two organizations are the same, and each one is committed to equity and inclusion. See which fits you best.
