List of Dalhousie University fraternities and sororities

The fraternities and sororities of Dalhousie University are well established and active in the Halifax community. Dalhousie previously had a policy against recognizing organizations that used gender identity as part of their membership criteria. However, this policy has since been changed, and Greek Organizations can now be recognized in an official capacity. To date, one organization has completed the ratification process and is officially recognized as a student society at Dalhousie. This organization is Tau Lambda Xi sorority.

Many of the international organizations have considered completing the ratification process but have not done so due to the agreement that once ratified, the DSU constitution will supersede their own.

Before this policy change, many fraternities and sororities collectively formed the Greek Council, and as a result of its multi-gendered standing, was able to become a ratified society under the Dalhousie Student Union. The Greek Council became obsolete due to the policy change. The following is a list of Dalhousie University fraternities and sororities:
