If you look at the SDT webpage under history, the only mention of religon is the following:
On March 25, 1917, seven young women who exemplified self-confidence and the willingness to take a chance, founded a new sorority at Cornell University. The name chosen, Sigma Delta Phi, was soon changed to Sigma Delta Tau when the women discovered the letters belonged to another Greek organization. Most of the seven had experienced the subtle, but very real, discrimination practiced against religious minorities by many Greek organizations at the time
That's it. However if you really look at our crest and study it...well....you can't mistake the Jewish symbols on there, and like it has been mentioned in this thread, Jewish Women's International is one of our philanthropies.
However, we don't call ourselves a Jewish sorority the way that AEPi called themselves a Jewish fraternity.
We are open to all members, and there are chapters that have very few Jewish women in them. It all depends where you are.
