"Jewish" Houses

[shadokat]

Isn't part of rush to educate women a little on your sorority? I mean, we are always said to be a Jewish sorority, yet we are really the first NON-SECTARIAN sorority. Yes, the women that founded the Alpha Chapter of Delta Phi Epsilon were Jewish, but they state in their founding words that the sorority exists to:

"promote good fellowship among the women students among the various colleges in the country...to create a secret society composed of these women based upon their good moral character regardless of nationality or creed , ...to have distinct chapters at various colleges..."

If you are a Jewish house, I don't find ANYTHING wrong with that. But if you're looking to recruit only Jewish women, then by all means, let rushees know that ahead of time, and save them from some grief.

Would SDT and A E Phi's national HQs say that they are Jewish houses? Or predominately Jewish houses? I say that b/c I have a friend whose sister pledged there at Pitt, and she wasn't Jewish, but the chapter predominately was.
