focus,

I see your point. . . to a point.

I looked at a couple of the websites that you posted for the Christian Sorority. And from what I've seen, and if I'm reading what you're saying correctly, one of the "legitimate" reasons for not joining a secular sorority/fraternity is because the majority of the people that you're with may not be Christians, but in the Sororities that you've listed, they are Christians.

But really, how much of a difference in the two organizations is there when the people in the organizations appear to be doing the same things as the secular ones? I visited one of their brothers' sites, and they're throwing up their sign just like many other fraternities. I would wonder why many of these people decided to form/join a Christian Sorority or Fraternity. Was it not enough to go to Sunday morning/evening and Wednesday night services and do community service or whatever through their church? Could they not have done the same things under the umbrella of their churches without having certain symbols, etc. on a crest or coat of arms? Maybe because of certain teachings, they thought that they were going to burn in hell for joining another organization - who knows?

I can only speak for my chapter, and I do know that many, if not most, of my chapter Sorors are saved. I can't vouch for all of them, and if those that are professing to be Christians aren't and are only "having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof" then they have to answer for that.

Before joining Alpha Kappa Alpha, I asked my sponsor, who is a saved woman, if she thought joining compromised her beliefs, and she told me empatically "no!". I give my time and service to Alpha Kappa Alpha, but I give even more to my church. I know who I am, and Whose I am, and for me, there's no compromise.
