Interesting. We didn't have Sammy (actually I think there used to be a chapter, that closed a long time ago) so obviously I didn't see this at my school.
AEPi and AEPhi did a certain amount of Jewish-oriented stuff... for instance, AEPi hosted a break-fast after Yom Kippur every year, open to all undergrads (the grad students did their own thing). The Orthodox wouldn't go.
In my day, the Orthodox pretty much ran Hillel, but as I said, that seems to be shifting.
