Sigma Alpha Mu (SAMmy) and Zeta Beta Tau were originally Jewish fraternities if I'm not mistaken, I think however that the emphasis on religion has diminished out of these organizations.
I know that there were several sororities that were Jewish as well, but not sure of what they were.
Farmhouse has a very large emphasis on Christianity, and enhancing spirituality is a "goal" of the Fraternity. (I've seen this listed on several Farmhouse chapter websites).
I'd say that overall in these days of enhanced tolerance and such, religion is becoming a less vital component to the overall character of the National GLO's, but at the chapter level might be very important. Also, I think your more likely to find groups that have separated themselves out as being non-christian (ie. Jewish).
As for Beta Theta Pi, there are quotes from the Bible in our ritual, but none that are explicit to God or the supernatural...
