There are groups that say they are Jewish, Advocates for Islam, etc. I believe they are using their policy when they choose to, to keep sororities and fraternities from being recognized.

On a humorous note, I want to join the Munchies at Midnight group!

We have the same kinds of organizations at Guelph. However, they cannot discriminate against you. You might not be jewish, but you have every right to join the jewish organization if you are interested.
Although, rumor has it that certain orgs do discriminate. After reading a letter to the editor in my school newspaper, one girl was outraged because the group that she wished to join wouldn't let her because of her ethnic background.
