UAlberta fraternities, sororities respond to university’s decision to terminate leases

Several University of Alberta students are seeking new housing after learning that the university will be ending leases with all Greek life organizations in August 2026. The change—which will impact 27 students who are currently living in fraternity and sorority houses—was reportedly made due to rising maintenance costs and inflation. Jack Stoddard, President of the Pi Kappa Alpha Lambda Epsilon, told City News that this change will “have reckless consequences,” while other students referenced how the termination of these leases will lead to a loss of community on campus and higher cost of living.
