I'd know. I'm the daughter of one of them. She was there. I'm the friend of one of them. She was there too.

I expect they probably figured out she was black before they pledged her.
As for the Catholics, I can only speak for the SEC schools I went to but there were loads of Greek Catholics on the campuses; Pi Phi had a whole bunch of them from Mobile. Nobody thought they were any different from the Protestants.
The Jews? Out of the hundreds of other students I met at my schools, I only knew one Jewish guy and his fraternity (AEPi) was tiny; Auburn, Arkansas, and Mississippi State weren't exactly loaded down with Jews. But y'know, this has nothing to do with our morality at the time. That statement was totally random and a very strange thing to see stated as fact from one who wasn't there.
