Back in the day, and this is pretty far back, Jewish women were not accepted into many of the NPC sororities. This is the reason groups such as Phi Sigma Sigma, Delta Phi Epsilon, AEPhi and SDT were started. This is why today, some folks refer to D Phi E as a Jewish sorority, when in actuality, we have no religious affiliation tied to our group. Phi Sigma Sigma is the same way. While we may have a predominately Jewish chapter at our older chapters, it stems from the fact that the Jewish women were not accepted by other sororities, and thus, joined D Phi E, and with legacies and all that, they remain largely Jewish.

Ok now I have a ? LOL  Were there certain sororities back then were if you weren't Jewish you just couldn't join or did it just so happen that most of the girls that joined a certain sorority just happened to be Jewish. I thought religion wasn't supposed to be discussed during rush and I can't imagine not inviting back a well liked girl just b/c she may happen to be a different religion than me or some of my sisters. I guess I'm just confused...
