Question National or International?

I was just wondering how many of the NPC sororities (or IFC fraternities) are international? i notice alot of people on GC call them nationals. if your GLO is international, where and when did it become so?
Gamma Phi Beta became an international sorority in 1919 at the University of Toronto, Canada.

Alpha Gamma Delta Fraternity became international in 1917 also at the University of Toronto when the Tau Chapter was established.

International

Alpha Phi's Xi Chapter at the University of Toronto was installed in 1906, thus making Alpha Phi and Interenational women's fraternity.

DG's first international chapter was also at the University of Toronto, so we are also international!

Phi Mu has initiated members living all over the world, but as far as i know we only have chapters in the United States. There might be a alumnae chapter in another country somewhere that I don't know about though.

Phi Sig is international....but we're still in the habit of saying natinal (trying to change, but old habits die hard)

We went International in 1930 at teh University of Manitoba - chapter now inactive.

For a fairly complete list of international(us/can) orgs visit http://www.canadiangreeks.com . They have lists of current GLOs in Canada as well as GLOs that used to be present.

We used to have alot more sororities at U of T, i think there were 12-15 but alot of them closed when the university bought out the land that the sorority (and frat) houses were built on to build a new (2nd largest in Canada) library. They closed back in the 50's i think. we also used to be recognized by the university back then, but due to one of the sororities not allowing an african american woman to join, they disaffiliated with us.
i know that we definitely had Delta Gamma, Alpha Phi now lives in their old house though. i think we also had Kappa Alpha Theta, but i'm not sure.

Sigma Nu is international.

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.

Hopefully they will spread out more in time, so everyone can enjoy what rich benefits fraternity and sorority life has to offer.

...Decadence.
Yeah that's so true...sometimes i feel like i'm a radical when i tell my sisters to say international, but that's ok...

as for spreading to other coutries; that would be interesting...I was just on MSN with a French friend - i told her i was going to a sorority conference, sorority? what's that?...ummm there's no word in french for it, it's like a woman's org at university...

Similar situation couple years ago talking with my brother and his japanese girlfriend...tried explaining it to her...they typed it into their English-japanese translator thingy and the result was "women's club"....just not the same meaning...

So, there's definitely a culture gap that would have to be jumped before expansion
