Well, looking at my Baird's, perhaps we can assume Zeta Beta Tau?

It says ZBT has been on campus since 1919, Sigma Alpha Mu was there, but not until 1953-1960, and Alpha Epsilon Pi didn't charter until 1977. Any other historically Jewish fraternities I should be looking for (that's assuming he was in a historically Jewish fraternity, of course)?

There are like three or four more that were later absorbed by others. I don't know which are at CU, though.
