Sad to say, I am not at all surprised. An incident happened at my school ~25 years ago where AEPi's nationals became concerned that the local chapter was drifting from its Jewish identity. The chapter was reorganized and almost every brother was told that he was no longer an active. Of the handful who were invited to remain (all of whom, naturally, were Jewish), all but one deaffiliated in solidarity with their other brothers. They formed a local fraternity, and, several years later, became a chapter of a different fraternity. The one brother who did remain worked with AEPi's nationals to recolonize the chapter, which happened almost immediately. I don't think they've had a single non-Jewish brother since - certainly they didn't while I was in school.

As an aside, I will say this about AEPhi, which also has a Jewish identity. We don't care what religion a PNM is, as long as she's ok with Jewish ideals.

Best of luck to the men at Tufts.
