Sororities and fraternities in Canada?

Question

Why do there seem to be so few university fraternities and sororities in Canada? I've heard rumours that some sort of frat hazing scandal at the U of A in the 1930s ruined things? Can anybody tell me?

Answer 1

I think Canadian culture is just a lot different than US culture... it's really more an American thing. Why do we need to label ourselves and create groups that promote inclusion of only those who are like-minded? You can just as easily buy/rent a big house and put out a posting for roomates. If a frat houst is what you want, you can do it yourself. I don't think it is something a University should promote.
