I wouldn't agree with White Chocolate that most of our chapters are predominately Jewish (or whateever she said exactly)

We are non-sectarian as she wrote, and that is because some of our founders were Jewish - they were of different faiths and not allowed to join the same sorority.

on my undergrad campus, I'm not sure exactly the involvement between greeks and Hillel. I know I had one sister who was on the executive for the Jewish Student Association - she would tell me all about stuff going on. I know she went to Shabbat a couple times, and I now when they had a Holocaust survivor visit campus, some Phi sigs (including our advisor who is Catholic and took her kids out of school for it) went to see him speak.

Once on campus a woman approached us, she had just transferred here and wanted to know if Pi Lambda Phi was Jewish here as well. We told her no - there were a couple guys who were Jewish, but majority wasn't.

As for where I am for Grad school I have absolutely no clue, esp since I haven't met any Greeks. All I know is i'm always defending greek life to the grad students who did their undergrad here as well(and have somehow gotten a bad perception of GLOs)
