Another question for the same three: Did you join a site specifically targeted to Greeks simply to come in and tell Greeks how wrong their choice is?

Inquiring minds want to know. Question copied, bolded and enlarged just in case they missed it...

Actually, you did. You took an oath to uphold the rules and regulations of that University (somewhere in the stack of papers you get in orientation).

It is all about individual perspective and where you are spiritually. Some could argue that you are yoking yourself with unbelievers by the school that you choose. I chose not to go to a particular HBCU in Florida just because of its reputation for being extra wild. I knew I couldnt handle that. Just a thought.

Actually I did miss it, thanks for the enlargement. Secondly who said it was the wrong choice? I surely didn't. Someone asked from the Biblical prespective, what was wrong with BGLO, so I gave a Biblical answer. If I recall correctly it was a member of a BGLO who initially posed this question. It's like I heard growing up, don't ask questions you aren't ready to hear the answer to and if someone else is asking, you can cover your ears or leave the room. I am not trying to be rude but that's just real. Sometimes I think people get offended when they know someone else is wrong because no matter what I have to say on the matter, the scriptures are still the same.

For one, I knew of Jesus when I came to college, I didn't know Him for myself. That is a HUGE difference. I could not have been unequally yoked with darkness because I was in darkness, so that argument is dead because I was right where I belonged (if you want to argue that point). I think by accepting the offer for admission I agreed to uphold the rules and regulations of the university. I never took an oath. I never took a vow. Now for some classes I had to sign a paper saying that I agreed not to cheat, use the internet inappropriately, turn things in on time, etc... not once did I sign anything acknowledging an idol God, symbolic or otherwise. Never once did I get on my knees or light a candle or hold up my right hand and say I pledge, vow, will do, honor the ideas, traditions, blah blah blah to xyz university.

^^^So what is your point? Are you here to dissaude Christians from choosing to join a BGLO or not? And why are you telling us, those who are in GLO's, this kind information?

So, let me get this straight..you didn't say it is wrong you just said that jesus doesn't like it?

Re: Religion vs. sorority/frat
 

I quote this to again show that people were just answering the original question that was addressed in an open forum to everyone. No one came here greek bashing and saying everyone that is in a greek org is going to hell. I don't think anyone of the posters who gave an "unpopular" opinion believe that. However, people quoted scriptures on why some Christians feel as if its not for them. BE BLESSED!

When did you ladies decide that you DID NOT want to be members of a BGLO? What made you come to that conclusion?

I don't know if anyone has kommented on this but if BGLOS are "SOOOO WRONG" then how kome some prominent individuals in the Church are members such as my frat Rev. Dr. Ralph Abernathy and Dr. Rev. Joseph H. Evans who was the first black President to head the United Church of Christ. I just don't understand why people want to make this Krusade against BGLOS when we don't say anything about people in the Church and lets be real just bekause someone says they are Christian does not mean they live Christian like. I EARNED my letters and KAPSI has been in my heart since I knew my daddy pledged and not once have I ever put it before God. My greekdom does not take the place of my faith so don't try and preach to me... Thats why I go to Mass.....Be blessed

I am not here to pursaude or dissause anyone. It was a question that I had the information at hand to answer so I answered it. Nothing more, nothing less. Again about telling someone who's in a GLO this information... someone in a GLO asked the question to begin with so why is the person(s) answering it getting the hard time?

Re: Re: Religion vs. sorority/frat
 

Thank you for making it plain.

My answer was scripture based. I did not inspire or write the scriptures, therefore I did not say that there was something wrong, the scriptures did, you would have to take that up with the author and finisher of those. Do I believe that the Bible is the infalliable Word of God? Yes. Do I strive to live by it? Yes. I am ashamed of that? No.

So if Jesus doesn't like it why are you all up in Greekchat yoking yourself with "unbelievers"?

Biblically speaking, yoked means "in covenant with", not "in association with."

It is not a sin for a Christian to associate with unbelievers. Jesus did that all his life. He did not, however, make a binding covenant of any kind with them.

"Bad association spoils useful habits"
