Interfraternity board opens membership to Jews

Title

Interfraternity board opens membership to Jews

Description

Due to the large number of Jews on campus, the Interfraternity board decided to open its membership to students from the Jewish fraternities as well as the non-Jewish ones. While this indicates structural anti-Semitism (Jewish students specifically had to be let in from their segregated fraternities), it also indicates that Jews and non-Jews coexisted at this time rather than openly clashed.
