Myonlydaughter--I certainly understand what you are saying about DPhiE. I am a member who is not Jewish, in fact, I went to a catholic college. That said, I don't think this article is going to damage the reputation of the organization across the country. The reality is at UGA, DPhiE has historically been known as as a "Jewish chapter" and, to many in the community, that's all they know.
Reputations are unfortunately hard to lose in a system like UGA. I think that was the point of the article--that the system at UGA is stratified based on history or perceptions (and I was pleased that the article attempted to address that issue). DPhiE unfortunately never found an identity after the disbanding of the Jewish quota system at UGA--thankfully that is not the case on many campuses where we have been able to establish strong chapters.
It is certainly hard to see a chapter that just celebrated 70 years close--but hopefully we'll return to UGA in future.
