Eureka College

Eureka College is a school in Eureka, Illinois founded in 1855. It is a Liberal Arts college, with a strong focus on the fine and performing arts. Enrollment is about 500 students.

Athletics, though having struggled for some years, are beginning to pick up speed again. There are teams for mens' and womens' basketball, tennis, swimming, golf and track, as well as football, volleyball, baseball and softball.

There is a very active Greek life on campus, as well--there are three social fraternities, all national; and three social sororities, one national and two local. There are also a number of professional and honorary fraternities--for music, drama, English, science, and social sciences, to name a few. Over half of Eureka's students belong to a Greek organization.

The school's most famous alumnus is Ronald Reagan, who graduated in 1932.
