Do they have Fraternities & Sororities in the universities in your country or is that just a US thing?

But there are things like organizations planning parties and stuff, it's for everyone of for a particular degree (like there are conventions organized for psychology students)

What country are you guys from?

[basicbitch47]

They pretty much don't exist. The ones we have are really rare and they are known for being very natoinalistic and alt right and you all know what German and alt right means.

idk what that is

They don't have them in England.

They definitely did not exist in Germany when I used to live there. At least it is not widespread. My cousin got fed up with me when I asked her to explain to me the whole concept and purpose of fraternities and sororities her in the US.

Something I've observed is that fraternities and sororities are usually just a big thing in freshman and sophomore year. No one really cares about it anymore when you're a junior. I used to think that it's meant for the "cool" people, but later on I found out that participating in Greek life oftentimes carries a negative connotation here in the US.

We don't exactly have a whole structured organisation. It's more dependant on societies and also on your own personal connections. Like i am more active in my photography group vs my class group. Also i hang out more with those in the economics and applied arts dept. You just make a more diverse circle of friends.

[NefariousKitten]

Yeah, we do. A lot are really violent tho

Of course not all universities have them, and there are also unis that require you to sign an agreement that you're not part of any when you enroll
