Only SDT and AEPhi are historically Jewish. DPhiE is not an historically Jewish chapter, as far as I know. At SOME campuses they may have a higher rate of Jewish women due to the absence of the other two.

Sorry, then they are non-denominational, no? I know they were taking Jewish members long before most of the older NPC's.

My recollection is that Delta Phi Epsilon was one of the first sororities to be founded with the explicit understanding of not discriminating on the basis of creed or national origin.

AEPhi also does not discriminate on the basis of religion. You don't have to be Jewish to join - but if you are uncomfortable with being in a sorority based on Jewish ideals, you probably wouldn't be happy in AEPhi. (I was Catholic when I pledged.)

That said, you're not going to find a lot of AEPhi chapters where Jews are thin on the ground.
