I remember starting a thread years ago about discriminatory clauses, but I think it was specific to sororities. If I'm not mistaken, the basic jist of the thread was that the fraternities' clauses were explicit, but that most of the sororities did NOT have discriminatory clauses and they were indeed more implicit in their exclusion of Blacks/Jews/Catholics/fill-in-the-blank! than the fraternities were.

I've mentioned this before, but I wrote my senior thesis about the postwar architectural program of my college. Part of that involved moving the fraternities on-campus and one of the factors in that was the discriminatory clauses that forbade Jews and Catholics. I'll see what I can find on that and pass it your way.
