This is all my own experience...

I know many of the AEPi's at UCF, UF, and the University of Miami. While we all know the fraternity is predominantly Jewish, it is not limited to only those of the Jewish religion. I know that there are non-Jewish members at all three of those schools. My sister is dating an AEPi at Miami and I recently had a conversation about this with him. Your religion isn't the deciding choice about whether you get a bid; it's about what type of person you are. I know the same is true here at UCF. I am Jewish but I didn't join the house because I wanted more diversity and had friends that were Phi's. I know guys that are Jewish who haven't gotten bids from AEPi at these same schools because of their attitudes. I believe at some schools the chapters may not be like this. I am sure some people are not bid because of the religion. I can only assume that these houses are in the minority and not the majority.

That's my 2 cents.
