Reorganized and added ref for "Going Greek: Jewish College Fraternities in the United States, 1895-1945"
Deryck Chan, Amorymeltzer I reorganized into social fraternities, social sororities and professionals, added a few groups (mostly those that folded into ZBT eventually) and added a reference. Sanua's book "Going Greek: Jewish College Fraternities in the United States, 1895-1945" is likely to be used extensively for reference and I recently bought a copy (for filling in information on the North-American Interfraternity Conference#Forme _members. There are some of the earlier groups and some of the additional professionals in Sanua's book that may not make their own page but belong here, IMO.Naraht (talk) 17:39, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Naraht, Does Sanau differentiate between sororities and fraternities that called themselves Jewish or had a Zionist/Jewish mission and those that were founded by Jews or had mostly Jewish founders but were labeled nonsectarian from their beginnings? I am trying to figure out if there is a line there that can help determine what should and should not be included in this article. Thanks. Rublamb (talk) 03:11, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
- Text available at https://digital.library.wayne.edu/item/wayne:WayneStateUniversityPress4424/file/HTML_FULL . Discusses the spectrum, which more or less goes from Omicron Alpha Tau (which generally had Kosher kitchens in Fraternity Houses) to Pi Lambda Phi, which was Majority Jewish until WWII. (For Ex. Sanua says that all three main founders of Pi Lambda Phi were Jewish, Pi Lambda Phi indicates, 1 Catholic, 1 Protestant and 1 Jew). (http://www.pilampsu.com/history.htm gives info and basically indicates that the first 20 years of Pi Lambda Phi are exceedingly badly documented) Naraht (talk) 07:43, 31 December 2022 (UTC)
