Well, this is interesting. I am also surprised that it took so long to form given the Muslim population, both converted native-born and immigrant. I think it would be interesting to see how the sorority grows with regards to women from Islamic countries who attend college in the states and with regard to international chapters in other Islamic or secular countries.
I am a little concerned that the ED, who is also a Delta, tried to push a little of Delta into the org rather than creating from scratch (ie Five Pillars). If SHE is a practiving muslim (not clear from the article or website), I am also concerned that she may have felt that Delta did not meet her needs as a muslim woman. There are many muslim women who are members of the D4 so I wonder if this is something that they will look towards instead of D4 or mulicultural sororities?
