AEPi is NOT exclusively Jewish. They have even had gentile presidents!

Why does the Daily continually make these errors. There are not 5 "sanctioned sororites" at Stanford. There are 11.
ISC: Tridelt, Pi Phi, Theta, Kappa, Chi O
Black Sororities: Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha
Multicultural: Sigma Theta Psi, Lambda Theta Nu, alpha Kappa Delta Phi, Sigma Psi Zeta
The exclusion of the majority of the sororities at Stanford in this article is lazy journalism.

The article is careful to say, in the first paragraph, that AEPhi will be the sixth ISC-sanctioned sorority, not the sixth sorority overall. I think the author appears to have been accurate with this.

Yea, although I'm not sure about its current membership, AEPi (both nationally and on campus) definitely does not exclude non-jews and has had many non-jewish members.

"AEPhi joins five other sanctioned sororities at the University, of which Kappa Alpha Theta, Pi Beta Phi and Delta Delta Delta are housed and Kappa Kappa Gamma and Chi Omega are unhoused."
This is what I am contending. It does not match with what was said in the previous paragraph. It reads to me that the university only recognizes 5 sororities.

But the sanctioning in the 3rd paragraph clearly refers back to the ISC in the first paragraph, where the number of ISC-sanctioned sororities is also mentioned. I can't see how this would have confused anyone. It was clearly explained on *first* reference, as it should have been. Explaining it on *every* reference is not necessary.

Well it's clear to readers who already know that the ISC is not the only Greek council that has sororities. But to most readers, that is not clear by any means. It mentions the ISC but does not mention at all that there are already many other culturally-based sororities already on campus.

Congratulations to my cousin Molly for all of her hard work. I am so proud to call you a sorority sister!

AEPi at Stanford is not exclusively Jewish. It has non-Jewish members and rushes non-Jews. The daily is incredibly irresponsible with its fact finding. Get your information right before you publish it.
