Many international fraternities and women's fraternities/sororities credit their University of Toronto chapter as the one which made their organization truly international through expansion into Canada. Indeed, the first NIC (North American Interfraternity Conference) Fraternity to officially charter in Canada was Zeta Psi (ZY Theta Xi Chapter) at U of T in 1879. The first women's organization was the NPC (National Panhellenic Conference) member Kappa Alpha Theta at U of T (KAQ Sigma Chapter) in 1887.
