by: Anonymous

Hey, I've heard that greek life isn't really a big deal in canada and frats are kinda hard to find, it sorta bums me out cos I was looking forward to joining being a part of greek life. Is this true, is greek life not a big thing in canada?

Greek life isn't big in Canada, but it's big in Ottawa. We have one of the biggest Greek systems in the country (probably top 3 behind UBC and Western). I would definitely recommend checking out Sigma Chi or Sigma Alpha Mu if you're a guy; check out Alpha Phi, Tri Delta, Nu Sigma Pi or Xi Delta Theta if you're a girl. Best of luck!

Thanks for the reply, I'm looking forward to hopefully attending. Do you know if hazing is common? So apart from these 3 colleges is it fair to say Greek life is obsolete in canada? :(

VERY common in frats, non existent in international sororities and very common with local sororities. Can give more details if you're in a frat vs sorority.

I wouldn't say Greek life is obsolete in Canada - in fact, Greek life expanding across the countries. While I have my own opinions about local sororities and fraternities, the truth is that a bunch have popped up over the past decade and this shows there increasing interest in being Greek. I don't see those numbers dropping anytime soon, and internationals are paying attention. In the past 5 years, uOttawa and Carleton each added another NPC and Carleton also has a new international fraternity. That's more than what happened in the decade prior. So no, I don't think Greek life is obsolete in Canada.

This i would really not recommend a sorority outside of those two, they technically are clubs and not real sororities, definitely educate yourselves before going into recruitment!
