Student Life
Durham College is home to a number of fraternities and sororities, both local and international. There is no "Greek row" on campus, nor are the fraternities and sororities formally acknowledged by the College. However, the Greek Council of which nearly all fraternities and sororities are members of are recognized as a student organization by the UOIT and Durham College Student Association. The College has had a fast growing Greek Life since starting on campus 7 years ago. There are currently two fraternities and two sororities on the campus. Of the approximately 8000 students, about 170 are currently involved in a Greek Organization. The Greek system at Durham College has a system of self-government. While there is an executive council, most of the day to day operations of the Greek community are governed by the organizations themselves with a representative from each organization who resides on the Greek Council. Many of the fraternity and sorority houses on campus are located within walking distance to campus. The following organizations accessible to Durham College students can be found below with their date of founding on campus.
Fraternity:
- Tau Kappa Epsilon (2004)
Sorority:
- Alpha Sigma Chi (2008)

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Films and gramophone records, music, books and buildings show clearly how vigorously a man’s life and work go on after his “death,” whether we feel it or not, whether we are aware of the individual names or not.... There is no such thing as death according to our view!”
—Martin Bormann (1900–1945)
