A couple of nifty quotes from "From Here to Fraternity":
-----------
Delta Phi Epsilon was founded as a non-sectarian sorority, but several chapters have historically had a predominantly Jewish membership. (1917) (pg. 272)

Phi Sigma Sigma was founded as a nonsectarian sorority by 10 women of different religious backgrounds. (1913)(pg. 276)

Theta Phi Alpha - the sorority is non-sectarian, although it has historically has had a historically Catholic membership. (1912). (pg. 277)

The first sorority founded was Jewish women was Alpha Epsilon Phi in 1909. Phi Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon and Sigma Delta Tau were formed between 1913 & 1917. (pg. 226) (side note: this is how I got confused...I got confused between Phi Sigma and Phi Sigma Sigma)
-------------
So for the "older" sororities, like KAO, DG, ADPi, KKG, etc....were they founded as "sectarian" and if so, what did that mean for its prospective rushees? Back then, was it MANDATORY to be of XYZ religion if you wanted to be intiated? Also, does sectarian mean that the oath contains "God" in its words? (Please note: I'm not fishing for people to give away their secret rituals).

I LOVE learning on this board!
