First major national fraternity to abolish membership restrictions based upon race, religion, or creed, five years before America’s civil rights movement.
Guess its hard to tell what a new member might have known or when he might have known it. But a lawsuit is crazy. [/B]

Pi Lambda Phi never abolished such restrictions because it was founded on the principal of not having such restrictions...in 1895...that's a bit prior to the civil rights movement--but cheers anyhow to SigEp for removing them
As far as the creeds of fraternities that don't specifically mention God or whatnot but perhaps elude to it--I did inquire as to how this tended to translate within the fraternities. I was told that most have religious stuff in their rituals, etc--and yeah, I know that's mainly just tradition and all, but it's an issue for me
