omega delta phi had 2 chapters in mexico at one point...i'm not sure how active they are anymore though

Phi Sig has chapters in Canada as well, I'm too lazy to go find out what schools, but there are some canadian phi sigs on here who can probably tell you.

DKE has several Canadian chapters, but I believe the original question was about chapters outside of North America. As regards that question we have a reciprocal organization in the UK called the Popes Society with chapters at Oxford and Edinburgh. There is an interest group at the University of London based, I believe, at Royal Holloway College and Kings College. There was a group in the North of England based at Leeds and Huddersfield but the Universities there opposed the formation of a formal group and that plan has been put on the back burner for now.
I am told that there were at least two American Fraternities at Scottish universities way back when that existed for 40 or 50 years, but these died out around the begining of WWII. Anybody know anything about those groups?

The colony became a full chapter in 2003.

Re: internationals....
 

Please tell us how you define this artificial Greek monarchy you just created.

Sorry I didn't list it, but you are correct about Eta Theta at Guelph.

Re: internationals....
 

Rudey,

I cannot speak for Erik in how this "monarchy" was created, but I CAN tell you it is incorrect. I do not know if there is a fraternity with more chapters than Phi Delta Theta in Canada, but I DO know (from the Zeta Psi website) that they are tied with Phi Delta Theta for chapters in Canada (9 active chapters). Unless Zeta Psi has not listed all inactive chapters in Canada, Phi Delta Theta has also actually chartered more chapters in Canada than Zeta Psi.

Now, if I have anything to say about it, Phi Delta Theta will be adding a colony to that list in the next year or so - the future Saskatchewan Alpha chapter at the University of Saskatchewan. The U of S does not have a Greek system (that I know of) yet, but I'm determined to share the benefits of being Greek with the student body! I think in a university of 15,000 full time students, I can possibly find a few men who are worthy of membership in Phi Delta Theta! :)

For reference, the current Phi Delt chapters in Canada are:
University of Alberta
University of British Columbia
University of Manitoba
Dalhousie University
University of Toronto
University of Western Ontario
McMaster University
York University
McGill University

Cheers!

Phi Delt/Zete
 

Perhaps Phi Delt has overtaken Zete in Canada, and if so, I'd
defer to whoever is correct. This was not my point in my post,
but if it will assuage ruffled feathers, I will certainly stand corrected. No sense gettin' in a pissing contest over who is the
largest. We have a gigantic one in the lower 48 with TKE, SAE,
Sig Ep, Kappa Sig and Pike, all claiming#1 in some nebulous categories. My thrust is do we want to go off the continent with
our quixotic bent? Whatever you-all may want to do, have at it,
I certainly meant not to offend the Zetes or Phis.
Gosh, perhaps KA Society or Delta Psi will awaken. Wilson B.
Heller would really get a kick out of all this....LOL

Re: Re: internationals....
 

U of S does not have a formal greek system, but I know they have a women's sorority that all the women at the school are invited to join.

Good luck at U of S - I'm interested to see how this all plays out.

FYI,
Phi Delt also has the 'license' to expand at Laurier in September 2005. Laurier is a recognized Greek System, set up on the American model and is someone unusual for Canada. The university controls expansion and selects one international group every 2-3 years to set up a new chapter.

Sigma Chi incidentally has a new colony at the University of Melbourne in Australia, which as was mentioned in a previous post, may prove challenging in terms of geography, customs, etc.

thanks for the information
 

Sistermadly,
Do you have any more information concerning this women's sorority? It'll certainly help in my organizational efforts if I can speak to some Greeks who have experience dealing with the administration and how they communicate to the student body, etc.

capehlke,
Thanks for the information. Good to know that Phi Delt was selected! The more Canadian universities on board (with fraternities/sororities and Phi Delta Theta), the easier it will be to present my case at the U of S.

Cheers,

Re: thanks for the information
 

Talk to NeonPi about the U of Saskatchewan...she should know something -- she is very "on the ball" when it comes to the Greek situation across Canada.

BTW: there *WAS* a sorority at USask in the 1950s called "Kai Deka"

Matthew,
Phi Delta Theta used to be at University of Victoria as well (BC Beta chapter). They were there before DU at UVic (that chapter is mentioned earlier in the thread).

Tri Delta has 2 active chapters in Canada:

Canada Alpha Chapter at the University of Toronto
Canada Delta Chapter at the University of Ottawa

We also have 2 inactive chapters:
Canada Beta Chapter at the University of Manitoba, closed in 1952
Canada Gamma Chapter at the University of Alberta, closed in 1959

We have alumnae chapters in Ottawa, Toronto, and Cleveland, UK

Last I know of:

McGill, U. Alberta, U. Toronto, W. Toronto.

Dorment:
U. B C, U. Calg., U. Windsor

One correction - W. Toronto should read University of Western Ontario (or just Western to any Canadians)
