I had a friend IM me this morning to remind me that Trent Lott's fraternity on the IU campus was predominantly a Jewish fraternity when we were in college.
I find this interesting and curious. Was it simply the local chapter, or was that the make-up of Sigma Nu at the time? Anyone who has anecdotal information of fraternities from the 50's and 60's would be most welcome to share.
The reason I ask this is I am trying to figure out if Sigma Nu deliberately started recruiting minorities or if Lott's chapter was an odd non-Jewish chapter of Sigma Nu. Back in the 50's and 60's certain fraternities and sororities were formed especially for minorities. There were also black fraternities and sororities when I was there in 1966-67.
