Why a "black" christian sorority and not just a christian sorority? As a believer, we should all be unified under the one accord of Christ and what He commands of us in our role as a believer.
With so many factors in today's society set up to keep us (Christians) divided, why the need to make a distinction?
I noticed above that you referenced the aim towards the betterment of the African American community - is the goal to have a group of black christian women serving in the black community?
Thanks in advance for the answer....

I definitely understand why you asked this question, because we've already been confronted with this. By being a Black Christian sorority, we're not creating a division, but working within the divisions society has already established.
Note that we love all people and all races; ANY and ALL ethnicities are eligible for membership as long as their values and aims complement ours.
I don't know what ethnicity you are, but I can tell you the African American community is not united. We will not be united until we overcome the many adversities still facing us today (in the areas of health, education, economic advancement, and the Black family among others). Once unified, we can then work with others toward more common goals. KAG is going to help in the fight to overcome these adversities.
Simply put, "Black folks need to help Black folks". If we can have the NAACP (which I'm a proud member of
), the Divine 9, the "Black church", the "Black" culture, why can't we have a Black Christian sorority? More specifically, one that acknowledges they aim to help the Black community? There are some predominantly Black Christian frats/sororities, but they either don't say it outright, or are not aiming for the betterment of the Black community.
I sincerely hope I answered all your questions, and didn't deviate from the topic at hand...I tend to do that at times
