Hey Jack.
I'm afraid that there is no all-encompassing "governing body" to contact about setting up a British chapter. While fraternities may belong to associations designed to work for the good of all member groups, each fraternity governs itself and makes its own decisions about chartering.
So, you'd have to contact specific fraternities to see if they would be interested in chartering a chapter in England. I have to be honest and say that I can't see any wanting to do so -- if nothing else, the logistics (and expense) of trying to maintain adequate contacts with a chapter on the other side of the Atlantic would seem to make an English chapter unworkable.
Sorry, but that's what I think you'll find out.
If you want to try to start your own fraternity, you can look around here and find some threads about doing that. I think some may even have come from some other Britons.
Good luck!
