Student Life
The University of Ontario Institute of Technology 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 university. However, the Greek Council, of which nearly all fraternities and sororities are members of, is recognized as a club by the Student Association. It's purpose is to educate students on Greek life at UOIT and Durham College. The university has a fast growing Greek community, considering that it was founded only nine years ago. There are currently two fraternities and two sororities on campus. Of the approximately 9000 undergraduate students, about 170 are currently involved in a Greek organization. The Greek system at the University of Ontario Institute of Technology 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 residing on the Greek Council. Many of the fraternity and sorority houses on campus are located within walking distance of the school. Many of the Greek organizations often contribute hundreds of volunteer hours and donate thousands of dollars to local charities, causes and clubs. These organizations are listed below, along with the year they were founded.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge College is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“From too much love of living,
From hope and fear set free,
We thank with brief thanksgiving
Whatever gods may be
That no life lives for ever;
That dead men rise up never;
That even the weariest river
Winds somewhere safe to sea.”
—A.C. (Algernon Charles)
