Sororities Have Bias Clauses BWI Alumni Group In NYC By CONRAD CLARK According to an article in a edition of "The Daily Heel”, at Chapel HUI, N.C., “«ev- en of the 23 aocial fraternities at the University of Worth Car olina admit to having member­ ship clauses discriminating either by race or religion”. The article further said that four of the seven sororities on the campus “-would not discuss the matter without special per­ mission from their national of­ fice.” The dean of men at UNC. WU- liam G. Long, stated that the university’s policy on discrimin­ atory clauses declares that no fraternity or soroity may estab­ lish at UNC a chapter that has such a clause. Fraternities The seven fraternities at UNC that have discriminatory clauses are Alpha Tau Omega, Kappa Alpha, Kappa Sigman, Phi Delta Theta, Pi Kappa Phi, Sigma Chi, and Sigma Nu. The sororities that declined to comment were .Alpha Delta Pi, Chi Omega, Delta Delta Delta and Kappa Delta.
