So, we're watching this:

and I'm like, "Yeah, frat boys..."
In response: "Yeah, I'm glad Canadian fraternities aren't like that."
I could say more, but I don't want to color commentary.
Thoughts/opinions? |

If there were any fraternities at my Canadian university, they were invisible. |

Dalhousie University and the University of Western Ontario have frats. U.B.C. may have some, too. |

The University of Alberta had frats. Our Students' Union was controlled by a few of the frats, and they would funnel student funds into donations for their own groups. They were rich fcuks who drink, start fights, date-rape, and get the best jobs upon graduating. |

They were strictly banned at my uni, but considering the dormitories all had brewery sponsorships, it's hard to say what the difference might be |

Oh yeah, and they had to pay hundreds of dollars each semester to make friends. |

Frats were HUGE when I went to U Western Ontario in the mid 70s. I learned the following things about life because I joined a frat:
2 stubby bottles of beer can be chugged at the same time in less than 6 seconds
A 5 year old St Bernard can not drink 14 beers without dying
A 1950 Ford cannot be driven after a 50 foot plunge off a cliff.
A regular sized stationary city bus can be moved over 100 feet when struck by a 68 Mustang travelling at 70 mph.
If the occupants of the afore mentioned Mustang are totally drunk, the worst injury will not be worse than 12 broken teeth, 7 broken ribs, 2 broken legs, 1 broken nose, 1 broken collarbone, 1 lacerated cornea and 9 days in a stage 2 coma.
It takes approximately 14 hours to clean the steps of the Science building with a toothbrush and Mr Clean
You can almost drown in a 600 gallon vat of molasses
You can drive from Grand Bend to London in 28 minutes if you dont stop for roadblocks
It is possible to drink a quart of pure alcohol in 6 minutes and only spend 12 hours in hospital after getting your stomach pumped
A banning for life from the Uni watering hole usually only means 2-3 days
A human head will put a hole in a wall when said head is assisted by the football team all star linebacker
Never call the smallest guy on the school wrestling team a puzzy because you beat him at pool in the pub
Never assume that your frat brothers will come to your aid when you are having a few in the bar and you tell the all conference linebacker that you did his girlfriend last weekend at the frat
Never marry anyone who comes to a frat party
Never give a cop who has just pulled you over your Canadian Tire Credit card when he asks for your license
Always keep in touch with the 1 guy you never liked in the frat because that SOB is now the richest guy you know |
