The Frat House

The Frat House
By: Tyler



Yes the frat house is and should be considered a part of Toronto’s night scene for many reasons other than just the history behind them. To this day the houses that are in the Annex, which surround St. George subway station rage into the night with university students and college students from all over Toronto.  Unless you go to the school, it isn’t the easiest to find out how to get into one. But then again it’s just a bunch of students slurping down beer that tastes awful, so you’re not missing a lifetime experience. For someone who has never been to one and is still a student, there is a certain allure to the coveted frat party. Considering if you have ever watched American Pie you have this picture in your mind that it must be epic. How to get into one? Yes, you still need a connection and in this city that shouldn’t be too hard, but at the same time, you can for the most part just show up at the door with your student card and your good to go. A frequent question is if you can be from a different school, and the answer is yes you can be from a different school; I have been to many and haven’t had an issue. For a list of the frats that I know of they are here: Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Phi Gamma Delta. It’s rather interesting the amount of history behind fraternities and sororities, what they mean, and the goals they are to achieve. I’ll post a link to Wikipedia, which describes the different chapters and lists all the recognized fraternities and sororities in Canada if your interested.
