I do know that RMC is still vehemently against any secretive societies operating with the student population in town - and Queens has never seen fit to lift the ban. Some GLOs tried to establish themselves in the 20s, 30s, and 40s... but Queen's came down hard - not the Administration, but the students...
Wording of ban at Queen's:
By resolution of Senate, no student registered with the University may form or become a member of any chapter of an externally affiliated fraternity or sorority at or near Kingston.
Entry on Fraternities and Sororities from Queen's website:
That all being said I do know that AEPi has been trying to establish a chapter at Queens - which would of course make them an underground chapter in many respects...

Weird.
How is this any different from joining a local chapter of a national professional student group (ie students who are studing medicine, business, engineering, computers, etc)?
