Are NPHC orgs Christian? (Why I originally asked)
 

OK, some of yall may be wondering why I originally asked if NPHC orgs are Christian? The reason being is that I attended a open house of a bona-fide Christian fraternity last weekend called Sigma Theta Epsilon and I had a blessed time. For all you Greekchatters who know me will remember a while back I stated an interest in joining an NPHC fraternity grad chapter. I was trying to see from the NPHC members themselves if they were Christian orgs; after all, birds of a feather flock together. I didn't want to join an NPHC org and later go inactive, so I posed the question directly to the members. Needless to say, for the responses I got, I had to probe for a yes or no answer because the question was frequently skirted. While I didn't get the answer from the org I desired, the 9 years experience associating with them is enough of an answer for me. My mind is clear and I have a direction I am going to go as far as GLOs are concerned.

While searching for something else, I thought this was interesting.

Very very old, but interesting nonetheless.

lol @ bumpin this old thread...but yo, when i'm asked this, i always say, we are an organization founded on christian beliefs, but we are not a christian org being that we have members of all faiths in our respective orgs.

BlueNYC, this thread is interesting for reasons beyond the question that it poses.

Interesting indeed.

I'm just glad you QFPed, lest someone come back and erase the evidence.:D

In case you don't get the irony this Rain Man is now Kappatal Phinust (or however you spell his name.)

teehee. :)

ahhhhhhhhh...got you...

There are Christian sororities and fraternities, but if I remember correctly, I doubt that any NPHC GLOs are Christian in nature.

NPHC orgs were founded on Christian principles and ideals and all or most of their founders were Christians. However, even though there are many Christians in our organizations, we do not discriminate based on religious orientation. As far as being Christian in nature, technically we are not, although there are many chapters that would probably describe themselves that way. My alumnae chapter is one of them.

Ooooooooh.... I didn't know that. :o

Wow! I was gone from GC a really looooooong time.

This little tidbit really clears things up for me...

Lemme explain it to you (ahem...clearing my throat)....


I think the interesting point is that up until you crossed into KAPsi you were highly critical of the NPHC and took great pleasure in criticizing the NPHC and now you are a member of a NPHC org. You took great efforts to express your disdain for the NPHC and its members and now that you are a member of a NPHC org you seem like a true hypocrite.
