International GLO locations.

[gphib_95]

I was surfing the net and came across this website for ZTA at Ohio Northern University. It states that "We are the world's ONLY international sorority!!". I looked for some contact info, but did not find any. I know the website is still current because the calendar page is up to date. If someone knows how to contact them you might want to have them fix this mistake.

Zeta Psi is without a doubt the king in Canada amongst the NIC
groups and Phi Delta Theta close. Many groups have come and
gone in Canada, and the numbers of campuses with GLOs seem
to grow and grow...without much pattern or seeming purpose.
A visit to Canada will quickly quell some enthusiasm for we want
them to be somewhat like our systems. They are not, so it is a choice to enter or not. To each his own.
BUT a study of the educational systems of England, France, Germany, Mexico...etc. will quickly apprise one of the erudity and
the eliteness...and surely no one will go with a 'free ride' like we
have here...not even the $ taking athletes. Naw, we are a far piece from entering abroad, and Canada, at best, is an attempt
which so far has not shone brilliant.
Why not concentrate on reactivating our dead ones here in the USA? There are many things we can do to improve our lot right
here...the foreign expansion will be costly and will give meager
returns.
I address this harangue to the NIC-type outfits. The others
are not of the same bent, nor necessarily should they be. But
from time to time these outfits, mostly professional in nature, do
try to become quasi-NIC ones. Whatever.
We got lots of hay down here, so why don't we put it up?

Beta Sigma Phi is international, with chapters in 30 countries.

Mexico Beta just received their charter sometime within the past few months, I believe. So yes, there is at least one chapter in Mexico.

There was an AEPi presence at UBC in the late 1980s , then they weren't there. Did they come back? It would appear (http://www.canadiangreeks.com/directory/ubc.html) that they did, so I was just wondering.

Are you sure? I haven't seen anything about Zeta Psi at all at UBC. There were Zetes in the late 80's-early 90's but I haven't heard anything about them now. ZBT is gonzo too.

Just Curious...

None that I know of. There may be student organizations that may operate like a fraternity like the student organizations in the Netherlands and Germany.

Freemasonry in Mexico, on the other hand, is very well established and practically a part of Mexican culture; so much so that at one time there were bloody pitched battles in the early 1800s between the Escoseses (the lodges affiliated with the Scottish Rite) and the Yorkinos (the lodges affiliated with the York Rite). Eventually, they both made their peace.

I've often wondered this too, but I believe (at least collegiate Greeks, because as someone stated earlier, BSP has chapter(s) in Mexico) the answer is no.

Although if they do, I feel sorry for the person who had to translate the ritual to Spanish...I would like to shake their hands...I have enough trouble doing everyday English, let alone formal "ritual type" language....

Translating to modern Spanish is not usually a problem, as long as you follow the proper tense and grammar. It's the more formal "king's Spanish" that's spoken only in Spain that is trickier.

I remember reading an article sometime ago about the founding of the Masonic Grand Lodge of Japan after World War II and how difficult it was to translate the American-style ritual into Japanese, considering that the rituals as originally written date back to the 1700s-1800s. The first edition of the ritual was written in an old form of Japanese that is rarely used except by the Japanese royal family and court; it was later re-written into the contemporary form of Japanese used today.
