heh, me too, I would feel uncomfortable only participating in Jewish activities, especially if they were on the religious/orthodoxy side. Having a seder for Passover, an informal sisterhood event to services, maybe, if t was occasionally and not the focus of the sisterhood. But if I solely wanted to be doing Jewish-related activities, I would have been active in Hillel. Being in a sorority is about many things, and one thing I experienced being in a diverse chapter was learning about new people. Besides, there were enough Jews in my chapter that I didnt feel out of place, and religion played no role in my chapter, other than getting out of meetings on any major Jewish/Christian holiday.
