If you attend or have graduated from Eastern Illinois University and are familiar with the world of social media (I mean really, who doesn't know how to work social media in today's society), then there are some important Twitter accounts that you need to be following. These accounts will give you the latest news, entertainment/events, and keep you updated on the most recent gossip heard around campus.

Eastern Ill. Uni. -- @eiu

This account should be the most obvious! Show your school or alma mater some support and follow them! They are the main source of campus information and they retweet a ton of the schools individual accounts for things like intramural sports, clubs, or even local Charleston news that affects the student population.

EIU sports teams -- Various sports team accounts (listed below)

There are numerous sports teams that students are involved in at Eastern. Many of them have their own Twitter accounts. If you are interested in joining a sport or just want to keep up to date with your old team's record, then click the follow button! Here are just a few of the Twitter handles of some of the sports teams at Eastern:

@EIUMensSoccer / @EIUPantherFB / @EIU_Baseball / @Angels_Ultimate / @EIU_W_Soccer / @EIU_Panthers / @EIUHockey

Charleston Restaurants/Bars -- Various accounts (listed below)

Obviously Charleston, Illinois, isn't known best for their record-breaking population, but for the average number of people and students residing in town, we love our favorite restaurants and bars. Show them some love and keep up with current specials or offers!

@MartysBar2 / @Ikes_EIU / @PboxEIU / @Stusclub / @EIU_PantherPaw / @DirtysBarGrill

EIU Greek Life -- @EIUFSP / @EIUPHC / @EIU_IFC

Greek life is pretty popular at EIU and there are many events, functions, and philanthropies to keep up with. The easiest way to do that is to first and foremost attend chapter (really try your hardest to make these meetings) and then secondly, follow your chapter's social media pages as well as the overall Greek life accounts listed above.

EIU Student Organizations -- @ubeiu / @EIUstugov / @EIUStudentLife / @EIU_Blue_Crew

These organizations will give you information on campus activities and events! If you want to know what the next campus movie will be, follow the EIU UBoard's account! Want to get involved with student government on campus and have your say? They have an account! These are extremely smart accounts to follow in order to be an active and involved student at EIU!

There are obviously many more unmentioned accounts that are great ideas to follow, but here are just some more to keep an eye on!

@EIUStudyAbroad / @EIUdiamondgirl / @EIU_Alumni / @EIU_PMB / @EIUBookstore / @EIUHousing / @EIU_HERC

Most of the time, these accounts follow back too, so if you want to raise your follower ratio, these accounts are the way to do it!
