Just an FYI (for the sake of PNMs reading):
It's entirely possible to keep kosher and Sabbath (and observe all holidays) while NOT being in a historically Jewish sorority (SDT or AEPhi). My chapter had Jewish members and we always made allowances for them to do that, and we never challenged their beliefs. Other chapters on campus did the same for girls.
I just wanted to put this out there so PNMs don't read this and mistakenly think "If I don't join a historically Jewish sorority, then I won't be able to observe holidays and such."
Does it sometimes happen that members aren't understanding of Jewish customs? Probably? But it's not the case most of the time I'm sure.
