This is what I heard. I think that is why many of the single letter chapters and those chartered before DPhiE joined NPC have a strong Jewish identity. These women didn't have too many options since many sororities either wouldn't accept Jews or couldn't accommodate their dietary needs.

I think that it would be great if DPhiE recolonized at FSU.
