I think this has to do with the fact that DPhiE was founded by Jewish women and their famous alumnae (at least the ones I know about) are Jewish as well, so people asssociate that with being a sorority for Jewish women. But my IRL sister is a Deepher and she tells me the sorority itself is not founded on Jewish ideals, but a lot of Jewish women choose to join that house- hence, its a "Jewish" house, at least on her campus.
