Alpha Mu Chapter @ Dalhousie University

How many of those chapters do you still have there?

I'd really like to see a chapter at Dartmouth and then we'd be at every single Ivy.

And also for the Ivy League chapters she left off the inactive UPenn chapter.

D'oh! Not sure how UPenn got by me.

I didn't distinguish between active and inactive chapters.

yea! I like it when people who are attached to their studies also get attached to GLO's :-)

Our Alpha Chapter is at Cornell, and our Gamma Tau chapter is at Columbia. Both are active

Unfortunatly Zeta Psi currently only has active chapters at 6 of the 8 Ivy league schools. Also at many of the other Ivy league + schoools mentioned in the previous messages.

Cornell: Psi 1868 – Active

Yale University: Eta 1889 – Active

University of Pennsylvania: Sigma 1850 – Active

Princeton University Omicron: Epsilon 1850 – Active

Columbia University: Alpha 1879 – Active

Dartmouth College: Psi Epsilon 1853 – Active

Brown University Epsilon 1852 – Inactive. In 1986, Brown’s Zetes deliberately defied the Zeta Psi national rules by electing women officers. (Zeta Psi is not a co-ed organization.) When the national threatened to revoke its charter over this issue, the Brown chapter charged ahead. Refusing to comply with the national’s orders, the Brown chapter of Zeta Psi voted unanimously to withdraw from the national fraternity

Harvard University Rho Epsilon 1852 – Inactive

I mistakenly thought you were co-ed. Dartmouth is not co-ed either?

If you're talking about Dartmouth College in New Hampshire, it is co-ed

Canadian Zete...oops, slipped up here...

While the school is a well-regarded site by the Nebraska
Methodists, there is no Phi Beta Kappa chapter...but the daring
Zetes did charter their Omicron chapter here in 1958. The U of
Nebraska ("Corn Huskers") is also in Lincoln, home of Nebraska Wesleyan, a selective move, indeed....
This is not ivy league, Big 10, or PAC 10...either

Our active Charge of Theta Delta Chi at Dartmouth is NOT a co-ed fraternity.

I was referring to the Zeta Psi chapter, not Dartmouth College. :)

I did never say that our Nebraska chapter was any of these things, I said "focusing on forging new territory and maintaining a presence at prestigious institutions." That is the focus, however we have gone to many institutions accross the US and Canada, and just because a school is not IVY League does not make it any less of a school to attend. We only establish at universities, and colleges that offer full degrees. I just thought it was interesting that we had been in all of the IVY league schools first, were the first to Canada and were the first to establish on the West Coast. Obviosuly after being around for about 158 years we have moved into other instituitions. Our Nebraska Zetes are as important as any from any other institution. In fact altough they may be from a lesser known university the men there have managed to stand out, their chapter is the winner of seven out of the last ten Order of Excellence awards, the highest honor given to local chapters by Zeta Psi International. Making their brothers stand out among universities such as Harvard, Dartmouth, and MIT.

Also in 2003 from the NIC: "The Omicron Chapter of Zeta Psi International Fraternity located on the campus of Nebraska Wesleyan University is being recognized by the North-American Interfraternity Conference (NIC) with the Award of Distinction. One of only three chapters in the United States to receive this prestigious recognition, the chapter will be presented the award at their Founders Banquet in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 5, 2003"

So every chapter makes a difference, and I'm proud of the members from Nebraska as much as those from the Ivy league schools mentioned.

....Nebraska Wesleyan....
