AEPhi was founded in 1909 by seven Jewish women. My understanding is that some or all of them rushed the existing sororities at Barnard and were turned away because they were Jewish. So they formed their own sorority based on Jewish ideals but open to women of all faiths.
Doesn't AOPi have a similar founding story? That of the group of friends at Barnard, one didn't get into the sorority they all wanted for religious reasons?
