Phi Sigma Sigma and Delta Phi Epsilon were founded on the basis of being all-inclusive in terms of ethnicity and religion, or non-denominational (or something like that).

It is true of Phi Sigma Sigma also. Our 10 founders all tried to join the same sorority at Hunter College but due to different religious and ethnic backgrounds they couldn't. The founders went to the dean and received permission to start their own sorority. From Phi Sigma Sigma's website "They wanted to start a sorority that would promote open membership to all women of character regardless of background; a sorority committed to sisterhood, excellence in scholarship, and selfless giving. On November 26, 1913, Phi Sigma Sigma was born, unobtrusively, without the thought of expansion. It was the first nonsectarian sorority; the only one that was open to diverse membership from inception and the only one with a ritual that was not based in scripture."
