I'm seeing a lot of talk in this thread, about the "Jewish houses" and how people only see themselves in particular sororities because of their religious affiliation.
Let me point out that AEPhi was founded on the basis of non-discrimination. The 7 founding sisters were all Jewish, but they did not feel comfortable at the existing sororities at Barnard because all of those sororities were based on Christianity - so they formed their own sorority. My own chapter had Jewish, Catholic, Lutheran, Episcopalian, Eastern Orthodox, Hindu, and Atheist sisters, and that was only while I was an active. We do not discriminate on the basis of religion.
To address the topic at hand - if any rushee came through our rush room assuming she'd be an AEPhi just because of her religion (and this has happened) she'd be cut so fast.....
