The only thing people did was answer the question on why some Christians, whether greek or non-greek, feel as if greek life wasn't for them. Why does that hit so many chords? It would be different if people were starting anti-greek threads saying all greeks are evil and I know Minister Fred Hatchett sp? hit a few nerves but no one did that, they just gave scriptures. Whats so bad in that??? I understand you all have zeal for your organizations, whats wrong with people having zeal for Christ?

And God has gotten a hold of me quite a few times and had to put me in places of pentinence as punishment for my sins... But joining my Sorority was not a punishment..

And the stats are there about how the African American church has done a POOR job toward those who suffer from this devestating disease in the United States...
So much for being all "Christian like" as folks like to profess and witness their faith of...
