I'm glad you said this.

Islamic principles are vast - not consuming or touching pork or pork bi-products, not drinking alcohol, not smoking, dressing modestly, not committing shirk, acknowledging who the creator's prophet is. And it goes on and on. Certain things a student of Islam just knows are the underlying principles.

The sorority has established its' own principles but when the article(s) mentions no alcohol, there is just no exception to that rule because that is one of the things that all muslims adhere to. Fridays is the holy day (jummah) for muslims all across the world, that's just something we know. Fasting during Ramadan that's just what we all know so when the sorority speaks of it or does something in that regard, we wont be shocked.

I could not tell you all of the Islamic principles without leading into a religious post.

One of the sisters asked could she ask questions of the new sorority and certainly she can, but I only have limited knowledge and don't want to offend anyone. So I tread lightly

PEACE and always Love
I agree Islamic principles are vast. Again I wasn't trying to put you on the spot but I just wanted to make sure I understood correctly. I think you gave a good description of general Islamic principles, thank you for making it clearer for me.
