I'm sorry you didn't have a good time at the house, but I think it's a little rude to say that you didn't have any interest SDT because it's Jewish.
Sorry if this came out a little bitchy, but it's something I feel strongly about. On a brighter note, my grandmother was a DG, too.

I thought that SDT was founded as a Jewish sorority. That doesn't mean that the members are only Jewish. There is nothing wrong with being a Jewish sorority just as there is nothing wrong with being Christian, Protestant, Catholic or non-sectarian sororities. In the past many sororities would not admit women who were Jewish. SDT, AEPhi, DPhiE, and PhiSig were established in the early 1900s to combat this discrimination. My understanding is that SDT and AEPhi were founded as Jewish sororities, and PhiSig and DPhiE were founded as non-sectarian. The chapters of these sororities at many campuses have members of many religions. Some chapters are not as diverse.
