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.

I see the GDI's are strongly represented in the crowd here.

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
