Baird's manual of college fraternities (1990 printing) mistakenly has them as defunct as well but then shows them as active NIC. i think there was some misinformation floating around!

It has Phi Sigma Sigma as a Jewish sorority. But in fact we are not. Our founders were Jewish, but we are founded on secular beliefs.

Us to but in those days eve tho we were secular, Jewish women were predominantly the ones who joined. Take a look at any alumnae directory for your org - it wasn't until the 1970s we started to see truly diverse membership.
