I NEVER contradicted myself. I said and I quote, in my experiences I have never seen a girl cut bc they were Jewish, but I have seen girls cut bc they were not!
No one is saying not to be proud of your culture, but excuse me for saying no one should be allowed to discriminate. I'm sorry, but I do not think anyone should back up discrimination, whether it be catholic, jewish, black, white or whatever.

So, you claim that the "Jewish" houses cut women because they are not Jewish. But, when you went through rush, you probably knew what houses were prominently Jewish right? Would you have felt comfortable in a house where you would be the minority? Probably not. So, did you cut those Jewish houses based on the fact that they were prominently Jewish? And, wouldn't that be discriminatory on your part?
People want to go where they feel comfortable and accepted. If you are not a minority, than you probably wouldn't even begin to know how it feels to be unaccepted and left-out because of your religious affiliations or the color of your skin. So, you went to a sorority that had members predominantly of your religion. Jewish people feel the same and therefore go to a sorority where they know they will fit in.
As for Jewish houses cutting people solely on the reason that they were a non-Jew, I would love to see statistics to back up these statements and not just an experience of maybe 2 or 3 of your friends. If this were the case, I'd be surprised if these houses hadn't been sued yet for discriminatory practices.
