Shadokat wrote just what I was thinking. Except that it really wasn't that far back. I had posted this story before. My mother's male friend attended college about 40 or 45 years ago. He was given a bid to a fraternity and pledged, but his name was not submitted to their national because he was Jewish. All the brothers liked him, but their national would not permit it. He said that things were even worse for the Catholic students. The world has changed since then, but it really wasn't that long ago. I am sure that this type of discrimination was even worse in 1909, 1913 and 1917 when AEPhi, Phi Sig, DPhiE, and SDT were founded.
I am still wondering if there were separate sorority rushes based on religion.
