The Jews? Out of the hundreds of other students I met at my schools, I only knew one Jewish guy and his fraternity (AEPi) was tiny; Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State weren't exactly loaded down with Jews. But y'know, this has nothing to do with our morality at the time. That statement was totally random and a very strange thing to see stated as fact from one who wasn't there.

I have told this story on here before. She pledged Chi O. She was initiated into Chi O. A traveling consultant from Chi O then came and said "WHAT? We can't have black sisters!" and she quit rather than make her chapter kick her out. This was in the early 1970s at a liberal arts college in Wisconsin.
You must have attended college later than my mother and her friends, who were in school in the early 70s as well.
That statement wasn't random. You assert that sororities are exactly the same as they used to be except recruitment. I am showing you an example of how that isn't true.
And to get back off the "let's derail anything GeekyPenguin posts because I think she has a hidden agenda about me for some reason" train, I think what happened to this women is really unfortunate. Many women look to sororities to provide a strong, empowering female experience and that clearly isn't what she got.
