Fraternities and sororities at Dalhousie University

Dalhousie University Club Building

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, 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.

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.

The following is a list of fraternities and sororities with a presence at Dalhousie:
