Any Black Christian Greek Organizations Out there?
 

I am a member of Alpha Iota Omega Christian Fraternity here at UNC-Chapel Hill(majority black) and we are sold out for JESUS!! I was searching the web for other christian greek fraternities or sororities and all the ones on the web except for one seems to be white. I was wondering if there were any more or what others though about christians being greek....if you want to know our purpose, reply! and if you are in a greek organization that is greek..come out of the closet. We are all in the family of God..time to meet your long lost brothers and sisters.

When I was in college, on my Campus at Bradley University, We had a black christian sorority named Elogeme Adolphi and a fraternity called Megiste Arete ( I believe it's latin.) They had been on the campus for maybe three years then ( back in '91) and I think they have been set up on other campuses also. You may want to do a search to find out more about them.

Ah, an question I do have an answer to.

There is an organization called Alpha Nu Omega which is two separate components, ANO Fraternity, and ANO Sorority. It was founded at Morgan State in 1988. I don't know offhand if any other chapters were formed, but I can find out if you want to.

The other organization I found was Gamma Phi Eta Fraternity, which if I am not mistaken is also a Black Christian organization. There is also a sister sorority called Xi Gamma Phi.

Here in my hometown, two BGLO members at my church is establishing a Christian fraternity and sorority for the youth of the church. Since the names are still on the drawing board, I reserve giving those out in this forum.

If you like, I can give you links to the aforementioned orgs.

If I find any others, I'll let you know.

thanks Rain man....that was very beneficial. are you a part of these organizations? How do they run as far as ministering to people or to greeks? Again thanks.

Since I am not a member of any of the above GLOs, I really cannot give you any specifics as to how they run their organization. The info I supplied was strictly FYI only.

There is a Christian organization I have heard about for the past decade that only recently have I gave very serious consideration to joining. While it is a historically White fraternity, I am hoping that by diversifying their membership, it can further expand the unity in spreading the Word of Jesus to the community.

I say this because IMHO as long as Christian organizations segregate themselves by race, it is (I am sure indirectly) doing themselves a great disservice. The first church itself possessed a diverse membership. Read Acts 2:8-14(?). I am realizing that I am getting less hung up on the Black race vs. the White race and focusing more on the HUMAN race.

Just my .02

actually, my organization will only be majority black until the end of the spring semester. The guys from the Fall 99 line that are black will be gone leaving our fraternity half and half also with 2 koreans as well. This has significantly widened our target ministry from NPHC to IFC and NPC as well. I definitely agree with you about the disservice when we segregate ourselves and that is definitely not our aim. Our aim is to reach men of all ethnicities specifically those in the greek fraternities. I would say to continue to pray about this organization that you want to join, even I will pray for you because reconciliation between man is a great way to open up people's spiritual eyes to the reconciliation between man and God. PRAISE JESUS!

Hey, in Los Angeles at a Church called Faithful Central, they have a Christian Fraternity called Alpha Phi Omega and a sorority called Tau Eta Delta. I believe the founder of Tau Eta Delta was (is) a Sigma Gamma Rho. The lines that they have consists of kids as young as 13 to adults. There are members who are ALSO members of regular (for lack of a better word, forgive me) GLOs. When I get more info, I'll be glad to post it on here.

Since there already is a fraternity called Alpha Phi Omega in existence (myself being a brother in such), this other Alpha Phi Omega organization risks a lawsuit if this organization's name ever reaches the general community (read: APO brothers). I personally do not plan to initiate such action as I got bigger battles to fight.
But an interesting post nonetheless, Franny Granny. Thanx for the heads up.

Christian Fraternity
 

I know this thread hasnt been posted to in a long time but I wanted to let you know there are quite a few Christian Fraternities & Sororities out there. I belong to Gamma Psi Lambda Christian Fraternity Inc. We have a Sister Organization called Gamma Eta Psi Christian Sorority that was founded this year.

If you have any further questions feel free to send me an email or send me a PM on here.

You sure it wasn't Alpha Lambda Omega???

Elogeme Adolphi
 

There is another Christian sorority, Elogeme Adolphi, as previously stated by someone. It was started by Evangelist Mattie P. Dawson at Bradley University in 1987 but the vision was forseen in 1975. I am currently going through the cornerstone module process at Northern Illlinois University in Dekalb, Il. It has only been one week so far and it becoming one of the greatest experiences in my life. Our brother fraternity is Megiste Arete.

There is a wonderful group of women who have formed Delta Psi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Incorporated. It was started out of Oakwood College in Alabama, but members are now all over the place. I know the National Officers very well, and can get you in touch with them if need be.

Or, Look up Delta Psi Epsilon on the web.

Wonderful truly committed women who have Christ in their hearts and lives.

Hmmm...isn't Christianity its own fraternity? Why are the "Greek" letters necessary? Is it a recruitment tool or something?

The Christian "fraternity" from my yard wore line jackets, had line names, and had a "probate" show like the NPHC organizations. Is THAT a recruitment tool?

Are you more of a Christian if you have "Greek" letters on?

So feeling this post.:)

I wear greek-letters and I'm NOT a Christian.

this thread had better be a mother-mary date-raping joke of some sort.


If you are in organization that specific about color and creed please take your greek letters off NOW! [i know its just a joke, i want in on it] you have no idea of what brother is truly about if you only want to be brothers with people who are the exact same as you. I hope you get a DUI and get raped in the ass by some guy named Chaplula. Si, like at taco bell.

I am a member of Zeta Lambda Psi Christian Sorority Inc.

Most of our memebers are black, but we do have some sisters from another school and those members are white.

Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc
 

I applaud Christian fraterntities/sororities who are actually doing the worl of God on there campus. Like Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc. They are really out here to win souls for Christ. I heard that they just chartered another chapter in Michigan or Illinois somewhere.

www.alocs.org

They both exist at that school I believe.
 

I think Alpha Lambda Omega CHristian Sorority is at that school as well. I know that Alpha Lambda Omega is really big in the south and they have a lot of chapters in Texas.

Ironically there is a poem about Christianity being the "first fraternity" but as far as my own organization is concerned its not a "recruitment tool" nore does it mean you're any more "Christian" than anybody else. Its just that in order to minister more effectively to a college campus, we use the Greek-Lettered familiarity(sp?) to reach the campus since Greeks are very well known and have a lot of voice on a collegiate campus. Do we have line jackets? Yes. Do we have line names? Yes. Do we have coming out shows(we do ours a little different though)? Yes we do...In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Nope...:)

Having seen an Alpha Nu Omega probate, it really is a different experience. Not ENTIRELY, but definitely very classy. The org also seems to have a solid structure and a great support system for its undergrads. It shows in its expansion and its programming.

The other good thing about the org is that it really is what it says it is -- a Christian Alternative. When I see Alpha Nu Omega members, I don't see them as competition. I don't see their members as somebody Alpha lost out on. I say hey, that person found the right fit for them.

If they're happy, so am I.

preciate it dude...im curious though, what school did you see the PIC(Public Introduction Ceremony instead of probate) at?

Iota Chapter. I was the one taking pictures.

And sorry, they're all probates to me, I'm too old and stubborn. lol

lol..its cool. I wish I couldve made that PIC though, its in my region too..lol.

Delta Psi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Inc
 

Yes! Delta Psi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Inc. has been around since 1999. Check us out on the Web. There are many others as well. While we are predominantly African-American now, our goal is to be racially mixed to truly represent the body of Christ.

It is not about recruiting for Christianity or the Christian religion. Christian fraternities and sororities are an "out-of-the-box" ministry in and of themselves that give Christians the opportunity to take part in Greek life without ever having to feel uncomfortable about anything going on within their organizations.

So of course you are not more of a Christian with Greek letters on, but the organization is a tool for Christian young people to have an umbrella under which to minister. No a Greek organization isn't necessary to do that, but it is another avenue.

Well said!!!:)

I don't know if you have facebook, but there is a group on there called Christian greeks that lists all of the Christian Greek Life Organizations

While I am not offended by the idea of Christian GLOs, I wish many of them would realize that there are Christians in other GLOs. It is possible to be a Christian and still be a member of a mainstream fraterity or sorority... Just my two cents....

That is true. As a member of a Christian GLO I try my best to remember that. I think those people that are offended by that though should also remember that they are a Christian before a Greek brother or sister. If you put your fraternity before your faith, then you aren't committed enough in your faith to be offended by that. IMHO

re: Black Christian Greek Org's
 

hey. this is a response to the post by the member of Alpha Iota Omega located at UNC Chapel Hill. i was surfing the net and i came across this site. i read ur post and was fascinated. like u i wonder where the other Christian frat's and sororities are. Im a member of the Beta Chapter of Iota Alpha Omega Christian Fraternity on Shaw U's campus in Raleigh. There is also a Christian sorority on our campus, Alpha Sigma Gamma. I found that the Christian organizations on my campus are facing continuous hardships. It ranges from recruitment to raising funds to contempt from administration and other BGLO's. How did your organization(s) get passed it? How did you overcome?

hello......
