I do know that's the case with some of the Fraternities here at UofT... while I was active Sigma Chi had a number of brothers from Pakistan, Iran and Turkey; Sigma Nu was pretty much saved (numbers wise) by some Brits; Lambda Chi Alpha had brothers from Korea, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Philipines, Israel, Russia, Croatia and Saudi Arabia; Delta Kappa Epsilon had brothers from Trinidad, Nigeria, South Africa, Sweden, Mexico and Italy.

Recently I do know that one Tri-Delt has gotten more than a little attention because of her headress - marking her as a practicing Muslim... she gets asked all the time how she can be invovled with Christians (as if Christians are the only people allowed into GLOs).
