what is the difference between NCAA, intramurals, and intercollegiate sports???

<p>can someone explain each one to me. </p>

<p>also is there a such thing as a "tryout" for a sports team in a college? </p>

<p>finally, what exactly are fraternities and soririties? are they just clubs for guys and girls???</p>

<p>CAn someone please answer :(</p>

<p>ncaa is like HS varsity, intercollegiate is like JV and intramurals are for fun. Frats and sororities are clubs where you live together and party and get drunk. They try to put jocks together, geeks together, etc.</p>

<p>jocks? geeks?</p>

<p>dude.......please tell me you know what those are....social groups. Frats tend to keep social groups together. Those are just 2 examples.</p>

<p>NCAA refers to recruited athletes who compete for the school's sports teams. </p>

<p>intercollegiate, if i'm thinking the same thing that you're thinking, means club sports where the general student body tries out, makes the team, and competes against other schools representing your school's club team. </p>

<p>intramural is basically friendly athletics between students from the same schools. normally, schools set up leagues for the sports and students sign up, form teams, and compete against each other. </p>

<p>fraternities are for guys, and sororities are for girls. they are more than just "clubs"-- chances are, if you join one, that place is also your home, where most your friends are, where most of your social events are associated with, where you do community service etc etc etc. it is not just something that can be simply described as a "club."</p>

<p>thank you kfc4u -- i would also appreciate it if u send me some kfc:)</p>
