Fraternities and sororities at Dalhousie University
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fraternities and sororities of Dalhousie University are well established and active in the Halifax community. Despite their relative prominence, though, none are officially recognized as Dalhousie student societies. This can be attributed to the non-discrimination policy adopted by the Dalhousie Student Union, which stipulates that societies may not bar any student from membership based on gender or sex, which is inherently part of the culture of fraternities and sororities found at Dalhousie and elsewhere.
In an effort to remain active and unified on campus, a number of fraternities and sororities collectively formed the Greek Council, which due to the joint presence of males and females in its membership was able to become a ratified society under the DSU.
The following is a list of fraternities and sororities with a presence at Dalhousie:
- Alpha Gamma Delta Women's Fraternity
- Alpha Epsilon Pi Fraternity
- Iota Beta Chi Sorority
- Omega Pi Sorority
- Phi Chi Medical Fraternity
- Phi Delta Theta Fraternity
- Phi Kappa Pi Fraternity
- Sigma Chi Fraternity
- Zeta Psi Fraternity
Note: many of the chapters that service Dalhousie also have members from the other Halifax universities, including Saint Mary's University, Mount Saint Vincent University, and the University of King's College.
