International GLO locations.
 
I'm looking for *any* list of GLO chapters outside the United States. This could be a list of where the Phi Beta Sigma alumni chapters are outside the USA to the chapters of the NIC in Canada. I'm trying to put together a list for my Fraternity's (Alpha Phi Omega) International Extension Committee.

Thank You

Randy Finder
Alpha Phi Omega alumnus

Brother Randy,

I cannot speak for other Greek Organizations, but go to LXA Thread on G C. Look at the 3rd thread about web site.

That is the most current listing of LXA.

APO-BU, NWMoSU!

reverie 06-14-2004 11:01 PM

I think the easiest way to do it (although the most tedious as well), may be to go to the individual greek organizations' websites and see who is international.

I know Pi Beta Phi and Kappa Alpha Theta are both international sororities since they have Canadian chapters.

(And being an APO Brother myself, the idea of increased international expansion is wonderful! Good luck.)

In LFS.

I read somewhere on here and on other AGD websites stating that AGD has the most Canadian chapters than any other NPC group. I think that's pretty impressive. :)

Anyway, this site might be of some help:

Canadian Greeks!

Are there any international GLOs in Mexico?
Just Curious...

Alpha Phi's Theta Omicron chapter at McMaster closed in 2001. Their only sorority is a local, according to Canadiangreeks.com (strange, because I heard they banned GLOs all together)

CASIGKAP 06-15-2004 12:56 PM

Well there used to be the Beta Gamma chapter of Sigma Kappa at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg but it sadly is now dormant.

I'm not up-to-date on any others as of right now though so there could be others.

Canadian Greeks
 
The Canadian Greeks page has been wonderful! Please check http://www.canadiangreeks.com/directory/ to see if the information they have for your fraternity/sorority is right. I know there is at least one difference. They don't have the ADPi BC Vancouver Alumni Assoc...

Interesting that this comes up.

Constutionally, LXA is prohibited from expanding outside of the US & Canda.

There is legislation that is being proposed this summer at our convention that would allow for expansion outside the US and Canada.

Not that we have any groups outside the US & Canada looking for recognition, but our legislative convention only meets every other year and if in say, December a group at Monterrey Tech in Mexico (Which is the largest good school close to the border in Mexico) wanted to expand, our hands would be tied.

I think its a good thing.

EXColony 06-17-2004 10:05 AM

Wow, I never knew so many GLOs were International - well, we are too.

McGill University - Gamma Lambda, 1927
UBC/Simon Fraser U - Delta Omicron, 1949
U of T/Ryerson - Beta Omega, 1922
Waterloo - Theta Psi, 1987
Wilfrid Laurier U - Iota Mu, 1989
U of Windsor - Kappa Mu, 1994
UWO - Epsilon Omicron, 1957

Alumni Chapters:
London, Ontario
Halifax, Nova Scotia

Good luck compiling your list, fellow APO brother!

Are you sure you have a chapter at Queen's? They banned GLOs a long time ago.

Yes. The chapter was Kappa Theta and was recently founded. It has no website.

Don't see anything about that in Canadiangreeks.com

This is what they have:

http://www.canadiangreeks.com/directory/aepi.html

No mention of a colony either.

ETA: OK, checked the AEPi website and Queen's is listed. My question is this: How on EARTH did the fraternity get around presenting and colonizing at the school? Their anti-GLOness is probably the worst in Canada.

I don't care much for outside websites. They have a couple errors outside of that about AEPi on there. Anyway, the 10 chapters I listed for AEPi are active.

Fraternities are not like sororities - some are very bureaucratic and do go around presenting to school administration, but many don't. We made the choice and followed through with the decision to expand at that school if there was enough interest. Hopefully we will be an asset to the school as well as the members that were interested in joining us. :)

So you're saying that the Queen's chapter may very well be "underground". Well, maybe you're actually doing some good. There hasn't been Greek Life at the school since 1914!

No I'm saying that it's there, I don't know whether the administration approves, but we'd be there regardless.

"Underground" generally has bad connotations. A chapter is said to go underground when their charter is pulled or they are specifically banned by either their national or their school for doing something bad. I've seen chapters like that.

Just a thought - If you see errors on Canadiangreeks.com then let neonpi know. She help start the web site and can pass on the information to web master. A web site is only as current as the information is provided. :)

Queen's University policy is officially no Greek life. This group is not sanctioned by the univeristy nor the student union. I know AEPi was warned by other groups who attempted going on about going in there, so how visible on campus it appears remains to be seen (excuse the pun). (Example: - Acadia U told the potential Zeta Psi colonizers that any student that joined their organization would be expelled - guess what happened to that colonization?).

In this case, AEPI @ Queen's is like what DU was like at U of Victoria - not sanctioned or approved by uni or s.u. They do exist but there is no support whatsoever .. I hope AEPI holds their own at Queen's, but it won't be easy.

If there are updates for your Greek group, just email the webmaster at webmaster@canadiangreeks.com, and Chantal will update CGG no problem!

Cheers,

Phi Alpha Delta (a GLO classed as Professional as opposed to Social) Law Fraternity has a chapter in Mexico. I imagine several other PFA (Professional Fraternity Assoc.) fraternities may well have, too.

I don't know of any NIC fraternities that have expanded there, one way or other though.

I understand that the school doesn't sanction or approve them, but they're there and will be there as long as interest holds. If I get time I will send an email with updates. Good luck to all the Canadian Greeks!

You are correct. Our McGill and U of Calgary Charges are inactive, and for now, we don't plan on reactivate them.

I've often wondered this too, but I believe (at least collegiate Greeks, because as someone stated earlier, BSP has chapter(s) in Mexico) the answer is no.

Although if they do, I feel sorry for the person who had to translate the ritual to Spanish...I would like to shake their hands...I have enough trouble doing everyday English, let alone formal "ritual type" language....

AAgammagirl 06-20-2004 02:22 PM

Gamma Phi Beta is international as well.
we have chapters at
U of Toronto-chapter that made Gamma Phi int'l in 1919.
McGill U

** UWO inactive just this year.

oh yeah, and i know kappa sigma has a chapter at U of T, not sure the chapter name though.

Wasn't there interest in an AEPi at the University of Guelph? I could have sworn I heard about a group trying to get recognized there...
