Zeta Tau Alpha is also called international, although we do not have any active chapters in Canada currently.

University of Manitoba - Beta Rho Chapter (1929-1993)

We do have alumnae chapters in Canada:

Winnipeg Manitoba
Toronto Ontario

ASA is national - we've never had any chapters in another country.

Delta Omicron is international - we have a few chapters in Korea, and possibly one in Canada, I'm not sure about that one. I am not sure when DO colonized in Korea though, I think sometime in the 70s or 80s.

if delta omicron is an NPC women's fraternity, it's not international by having chapters in Canada. i've never even heard of delta omicron before (sorry).

Alpha Sigma Tau remains a national sorority. Not sure when we will make it to Canada, but that's OK.

I love it anyways!

Alpha Delta Pi's first Canadian chapter was Beta Zeta, University of Toronto, in 1929. Even though we always referred to "National", when a lot of other phrases were changed (such as pledge, rush, etc), we were asked to start referring to National as EO for Executive Office.

Some habits die hard!

BSP is an International sorority with members in 30 countries (including Africa, Canada, Australia, and others). We do have several chapters of mostly college-aged women .

Edited 5/3 to include the 15 Online chapters.

The traditional roots of Kappa Sigma span centuries and a vast expanse of geography.

While Virginia can claim the birthplace of our modern-day brotherhood, Kappa Sigma is truly an international Fraternity.

The installation of Delta-Epsilon Chapter at the University of Toronto in 1924 marked the technical beginning of Kappa Sigma's international expansion. However, the spirit of a Fraternity that transcends boundaries and borders is as ancient as the secret Order itself.

The essence of Kappa Sigma's international mission is best explained by recognizing that no chapter house or country can contain our brotherhood. Kappa Sigma is anywhere a brother goes.

BTW - our headquarters, nationals, whatever is called our "International Memorial Headquarters" or IMH. IMH is in Charlottesville, VA and is a beautiful building of Georgian architecture, purchased in 1966.

The University of Toronto seems to have been a popular place for "first international chapters"

AEPhi became international with the establishment of the Alpha Alpha chapter at U of T in 1927. There was another chapter, at York University, at one point. Both are now closed; not sure if that means we're back to being national...

Delta Omicron is not an NPC group but definately still a GLO. It is a professional music fraternity. (I know this because I was in Tau Beta Sigma and a lot of our members were also in DO).

Our Zeta Delta chapter was founded at the University of Toronto in 1949.

It might have been before then, i'm unfamiliar with the names of some of the schools on our list. I'm sure ktsnake knows for sure.

Kitso
KS 361

That's the first one. The only other that I can name is Kappa Beta at Western Ontario which is in London, Ontario.

Sigma Sigma Sigma is truly international! We have a chapter in Germany!

sailorpiphi · #28 05-04-2003, 11:48 AM

I would really like to know where in germany there is a tri sig chapter because i am here in germany studying right now. ITs really quite weird to try to explain to people the concept of a sorority. they just dont have it here. people ask me where i live and explainig that i live in a single house with 45 girls is also difficult to explain.

It would be really cool if the system traveled to europe. A couple of my good friends here, after me explaining for a while the system have found it really cool and have wished that they could also experience greek life!

There are currently 13 active NPC groups in Canada as well as two non NPC(Ceres, Pi Nu Epsilon) and of course several locals and a few Canadian Nationals...

There are 6 NPC groups that were in Canada and are now inactive (but may still have alum groups) Those are AEPhi, AXO, ZTA, SDT, SK, and XO.

There are 26 active NIC groups and 8 inactive. As well as 1 non-NIC international (theta gamma), a few locals and 1 canadian national.

As for non-social GLOs I dunno....Canadian Greeks doesn't include sevice or music GLOs...maybe that's something we should tell the webmaster

that's it for me...

I can't believe that I've taken to keeping my ADPi books so close to the computer....

In a quick scan, I found one inactive chapter (U. of Toronto) and two active chapters (U. of Manitoba & U. of British Columbia at Vancouver) for ADPi.

We've held two of our Conventions at Banff. I think people just like to say the word "Banff" - or they have a Rocky & Bullwinkle thing going on...
