List of fraternities and sororities at Dalhousie University

The fraternities and sororities of Dalhousie University are well established and active in the Halifax community. Dalhousie used to have a policy against recognizing organizations who use gender identity as part of their membership criteria. However, this policy has since been changed and Greek Organizations can now recognized at an official capacity. The organizations that have completed the ratification process and who are officially recognized at Dalhousie include two sororities, Tau Lambda Xi and Iota Beta Chi. For more info see student societies.

Prior to this policy change 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. Greek Council is now obsolete due to the policy change. However existing fraternities and sororities still share connections with each other through hosting joint social and philanthropic events!

The following is a list of fraternities and sororities with a presence at Dalhousie (ratified societies are listed first).
