Italic indicates dormant groups, or those which merged into another, larger society. There were many Jewish local chapters formed at universities around the United States, most of which eventually became a chapter of these larger entities. The following list include the larger groups. The word "Greek" in this case refers to the use of Greek letters for each society's name, and not to Greek ethnicity. For convenience, the term "Greek letter society" is a generic substitute. The terms "fraternity" and "sorority" are used somewhat interchangeably, with men's and co-ed groups always using "fraternity", and women's groups using either "fraternity" or "sorority". Some remain more celebratory of their Jewish roots from a historic perspective only, and some actively promote Jewish culture and religious traditions within their current program. These organizations exemplify (or exemplified) a range of "Jewishness" some are historically Jewish in origin but later became strictly secular. This is a list of historically Jewish fraternities and sororities in the United States and Canada. The society responds by increasing its focus on diversity and inclusivity.1949 Jewish fraternity and sorority gathering in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota, U.S. The society’s commitment to promoting cultural understanding and academic excellence has helped to shape the study of Spanish in the United States and beyond.ġ919: Sigma Delta Pi is founded at the University of California, Berkeley.ġ920s: The society expands to include chapters at universities across the United States.ġ930s: Sigma Delta Pi sponsors cultural events and study abroad programs.ġ940s: The society is temporarily disbanded during World War II.ġ950s: Sigma Delta Pi resumes its activities and continues to promote cultural understanding and academic excellence.ġ960s: The society becomes more involved in community service projects.ġ970s: Sigma Delta Pi faces criticism for lack of diversity among its members.ġ980s: The society begins to address issues of diversity and inclusivity.ġ990s: Sigma Delta Pi sponsors more cultural events and study abroad programs.Ģ000s: The society continues to promote academic excellence and cultural understanding.Ģ010s: Sigma Delta Pi faces renewed criticism for perpetuating social injustice and systemic bias.

Some have argued that the society’s focus on academic achievement and cultural appreciation has led to a lack of diversity among its members. However, like many organizations with a long history, Sigma Delta Pi has also been criticized for perpetuating social injustice and systemic bias. Sigma Delta Pi has also been involved in community service projects, such as tutoring and mentoring programs for Spanish-speaking students. The society has sponsored numerous cultural events, including lectures, film screenings, and study abroad programs. Throughout its history, Sigma Delta Pi has been committed to promoting cultural understanding and appreciation. Additionally, students must have completed at least three semesters of college-level Spanish courses and have demonstrated a commitment to the study of Spanish language and culture. To be eligible for membership in Sigma Delta Pi, students must meet certain academic requirements, including a minimum GPA in Spanish courses and an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher. The society’s mission is to promote the study of Spanish, to encourage cultural understanding, and to foster a sense of community among its members. Founded in 1919 at the University of California, Berkeley, Sigma Delta Pi has since grown to include over 600 chapters across the United States and Puerto Rico.
Sigma Delta Pi is a prestigious honor society that recognizes excellence in the study of the Spanish language, literature, and culture.
