List of fraternities and sororities at Dalhousie University

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The fraternities and sororities of Dalhousie University are well established and active in the Halifax community. Despite their relative prominence, though, none are officially recognized as Dalhousie student societies. This can be attributed to the non-discrimination policy adopted by the Dalhousie Student Union (DSU), which stipulates that societies may not bar any student from membership based on gender or sex, which is inherently part of the culture of fraternities and sororities found at Dalhousie and elsewhere. Some fraternities, like Phi Chi Medical Fraternity at Dalhousie, allow both sexes to become members. On the other side Mu Omicron Zeta which was founded 2015, pretends to be a fraternity but is nothing above than a social club known for organising parties on Pepperell Street. In order to join this Social Club you need to fulfil the criteria of being a Beta Male.

In an effort to remain active and unified on campus, a number of fraternities and sororities collectively formed the Greek Council, which due to the joint presence of males and females in its membership was able to become a ratified society under the DSU.

Halifax Greek Council (also referred to as Halifax Greek Life) is an official student society made up of fraternities and sororities that have charters/ and or at least 10 active members at Dalhousie University. Halifax Greek Council is the official representative body that oversees the affairs and concerns of all fraternities and sororities at Dalhousie University and its affiliated bodies.
