Do the colleges and universities in your nation allow for social organizations to exist, such as sororities ( women ) and fraternities ( men ); which are usually / generally / traditionally well grounded and founded within academic and social orders ? ( i.e. Phi Theta Kappa, etc )

Indeed, universities DO allow Maternities and Fraternities. After all, students need social interaction to relieve stress from schoolwork.

Yes, Fraternities and Sororities exist. There are rules and regulations in place regarding their conduct however.

There is nothing specifically preventing fraternities and sororities but, for one thing, segregation by gender is completly foreign to Fatatatutian culture. There are many clubs and societies on campus to allow for social interaction, such as the Foreign Aid Society, the Gilbert and Sullivan Society, the Naked Party, etc.

Yes such groups are allowed and are usually sponsored by a branch of the military or political party.

They're allowed but uncommon at most colleges and universities.

Besides Tsvarchivan campuses of colleges or universities based in other countries, no domestic college or university has such things, as Tsvarchivan culture finds the whole segregation of the sexes strange.

They are allowed, but separating people based on gender or any physical trait is seen as barbaric. Clubs are, of course, very popular amongst our young scholars. Usually they are political in nature, but many different types of clubs exist.

Kingstonian universities do not have fraternities or sororities. There are, however, a wide variety of sporting, cultural and academic societies to join and many students get to know each other through this. Most social interaction happens through the halls of residence which almost all students stay in during their first year at least.

Yes, we have sorrorities and fraternities. In fact it is a tradition that every university has a least four of them but participation is voluntary.

The United Federated Districts of Hevora. Or Savedland, as it is often hideously anglicized...

We are a large, free, powerful and beautiful country with a very long history that stretches back thousands upon thousands of years.

We are a union of many nations and cultures. The most dominant and shared by almost everyone is that of the Hevoran (Savedlish) People. It has its roots lying in an ancient creole culture that emerged from extensive contact between a bronze age hellenic and norse civilization which evolved convergeantly on an fictional, alternate universe Earth.

Bit weird, I know. But we're a lovely culture if you care enough to get to know us! :D

Yes, its legal and its up to the college that determines that stuff.

Sororities and Fraternities are totally banned in Bratoslovoukia as they are thought to be breeding grounds for homosexuality, but secret societies such as the Bratoslovoukian Illuminati or the Grand Lodge of the Bratmasons.
