I started Part II of this thread, entitled "Are NPHC Orgs Christian (Why I originally asked)". It explains what prompted me to ask the question originally and thus should answer your initial question. Check it out and respond in that thread (It is on Page 2 of the Greek Life thread--posted 12/5/00 @ 1:48 pm) Lemme know what you think Rain Man |

I would like to believe all Fraternities and Sororities are based on Christian principles and values. I am sure all NPHC use the Bible in some point in their Rituals of Initiation.I am also sure all these organizations have a national prayers. You must take into consideration the founding of all of these organizations,they were all founded at the turn of the century when conditions were not the greatest for the Black student(AT the time we were Negro).AS the history of our people portrait we have always turned to GOd for our strength and guidiance.Just because we are now on a College campus we would never abandon the basic principles instilled in us by our forefounders. I know we do not always show the christian values that we are based on,and that is because we are still secret( private) organizations. I hope this answers your questions. |

Personal case in point: My fraternity was founded on Scouting principles. If someone was to ask us if we are a Scouting fraternity, I would answer "No". That is because with the former Scouting requirement being dropped, along with the mass admittance of women, gays, and atheists, combined with our org and the BSA being at odds with each other about the admittance of such individuals left the principles of Scouting largely abandoned and thus we are not a Scouting fraternity.

I think the answer you are looking for must come from the individuals in the organizations.Am I a Christian?the answer is yes.Are all my brothers Christians?the answer is no.Over all are most of us Christians?the answer would have to be YES.So does that make us a christian organization?Can we all become Christians?yes.Then I must ask you are you referring to serving God and practicing Christian principles.Would we knowingly allow someone who does not believe in God to become a member?Do we try to get our members to become Christians?Do we only accept Christians as members? There are a lot of questions that you must ask.If a person was looking for an organization that was Faith based,they should probably look in the church.(you still won't get 100%) |
