Honestly, the thought of religion coming into play during recruitment never crossed my mind until I spoke with a friend of mine who joined a historically Jewish chapter. Of course, I knew very little about Greek life before I got to college, but I also grew up in an area with a very heavily Jewish population and where, as a Catholic, I was a minority. I am also of Polish descent but, when pronounced in English (as most people do) my last name sounds Jewish. In fact, most of my friends growing up and through high school were shocked to find out that I was not Jewish, based upon my name. It is interesting to think that had I rushed years ago, based upon my name and where I was from, decisions may have been made based on religious assumptions- be they correct or incorrect.
