About CIFC Register Online for CIFC 2009 About Greeklife at UofA! Welcome to Edmonton Contact Us
Page Title

The Greek community at the University of Alberta celebrates over 80 years of fraternity and community in Edmonton. The U of A Greeks are also unique among Canadian Greek systems because we are one of the only campuses in Canada to have a Greek Advisor, and an Order of Omega Chapter.

University of Alberta was the site of the first annual Canadian Interfraternal Conference (CIFC), founded by Order of Omega leaders in 1999.
