I mean, you have to put it into the context of the time... religion was much more of an issue throughout the country 50 years ago.
I think at most campuses it was just "understood" - I don't know if there were specific clauses preventing a Jewish woman from joining a Christian sorority, or vice versa, but I think it kind of went without saying. I also think that honeychile is right, that the Christian sororities were more likely to have Jewish women then the other way around - I think it's kind of comparable to NPC and NPHC sororities now. You are probably more likely to find an African American woman in an NPC sorority than a white woman in an NPHC sorority. ( Please don't get mad at me, it's just an observation!)
