And I know ALL about the Divine 9...after YEARS of researching which Divine 9 sorority we each wanted to join and reading "The Divine 9", we discovered we didn't want to be apart of it. See, what you're founded on, and what goes on today are two different stories. I have MANY examples of how far Divine 9 organizations have come from where they began...and I'm not talking about evolving in a good way.
And I don't see any Divine 9 frat or sorority promoting Christian values on any of our campuses, unless you want to count the prayer our Alphas say at the beginning of SOME of their events (not the parties...just the lecture type events).

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. I know you don't have to answer squat, so again thanks. Also, if you're more comfortable taking it this to PM, pleae let me know.
You stated earlier...

If this is the case, how is your sorority any different than one founded upon Christian principles - as opposed to being a sorority of Christian women caring out the mission of Christ into the African American community? I ask because I checked out your website (
) and the Apostle's creed is listed as your statement of faith - but your members don't have to believe in it nor the fundamental elements of Christianity (ie Jesus as the Son of God, etc.) . I may be biased, but when someone says Christian sorority - I think of women of who believe in Christ and all the responsibilities it entails.
There is a major difference between Christian-inspired (ie D-9 sororities)and Christian-based. (ie Sigma Phi Lambda). Really focus on that which distingushes you from what's already there.
Just something to think about.
