First Sorority at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada
Hi all,
Just wanted to say hello, and it is great to finally be a part of the Greek System! We have just recently established the first sorority EVER at our University. It has been a challenge, but we are looking forward to casting a positive light on the negative thoughts surrounding GLOs that seem to be present on our campus!
They didn't vote against us... there is no ban or anything. They just have a stance of non-recognition of Fraternities/Sororities as affiliated student groups. As you know, not all fraternal organizations require you to work with the institution directly. I have a feeling, once we show them how awesome Greek Life can be, they will WANT to work with us!
My school, Carleton University, has a non-recognition policy as well. We're recognized through the student union, under the umbrella club "Greek Council". Yet we still have a thriving greek community here in Ottawa - it's completely possible to have a successful chapter and greek presence at a university or college in Canada, without having the university recognize greek life.
Just out of curiosity, which organization is planning to start up/colonize?
