You are right, service to others is very important. And I commend groups for making that a large part of what they do. I'm not judging other people, like I said, if you feel you walk/relationship with God is ok then thats great. Keep doing what you feel is right. I just wanted to give this thread an accurate perspective from Christians who have the desire to join greek orgs. but choose not to.
By what I have researched and read about being Christian and in a greek org. it is very possible to be living a Holy life and be in a greek org. You can join the org. for great unselfish reasons (like service), you can not participate in events that would sacrafice your morals (like wild parties), not be prideful, and you can choose as your closest companions those who are living Christ-like. But the reality is that its hard to do and be all those things when the people you call your brother/sister are almost exactly the opposite.
I have yet to find a greek person (on the collegiate level, I don't really come in contact with those other than college), that has been able to live a holy life because of the desire to fit in and be accepted by their brothers/sisters. But it is possible, someone just has to be strong enough to do it, and be an example for other possibly greek Christ-like people to follow.
