The first step in the campaign to organize a national Inter-Fraternity-Sorority Conference was taken Thursday night at the Jewish Club, 23 West Seventy-third street, when more than one hundred delegates representing approximately thirty fraternity groups, met under the auspices of the Youth Division of the American Jewish Congress. Albert A. Addelston presided.
After the purpose of the new organization, which is to combat anti-Semitism on the college campuses and elsewhere, was described by Irving Levin, chairman of the committee on collegiate contacts, the two main speakers were introduced.
Harold Riegelman, former national president of the Inter-Fraternal Conference, declared that on the whole on the American campuses there is no noticeable anti-Semitism. He warned the assembled delegates that it is not proper for a Jewish student to be militant on the campus.
