Well, even if they didn't formally do this, the Jewish women would not have received any invitations from the chapters who didn't take Jews, so it would have happened anyway.
If I can relate a few stories that probably aren't politically correct...
My dad told me a story of one of his pledge brothers who dropped out of AEPi and joined a group that had just removed its "WASP clause" and how the rest of his chapter thought the guy was total scum the rest of their college careers.
My mom told me that, when she rushed, there was a further split, as women of German Jewish heritage all went XYZ at her school, and they thought they were too good for Eastern European Jewish women. Incidentally, my mom's best friend in retirement years is an alum of the chapter in question.
