For example Martin Luther King Jr. was an Alpha and he still was a pastor at a church too!! So thats proof right there. Aight well I'll holla back.

It is totally cool to be saved and be in a greek org., but the problem occurs when you have to compromise your salvation in order to be in the org (particularly undergrad). For instance, Im sure MLK (the prince of non-violence) wasn't abused while trying to become an Alpha (unless you know otherwise please share). And I pray no one confessing to be Christian agrees that abuse in any form is Christ-like. But make sure you aren't comparing peoples lives as an example to live by. As Christians the bible tells us to model Jesus's life because men make mastakes and fall often (not to say the MLK being greek was his mastake). But again the bible does say not to be bound to unbelievers, and in Greek orgs. you are bound to anyone who is in that org. whether they be buddhist, athiest, or whatever. You can interpret it how you want to, which I am sure many people do, but in order to understand why there is this rift between greek life and religion people should know that.
