As far as backbiting - look at that website. Could it be any more condescending to other GLO? Holier than thou doesn't begin to cover what is there. And look at the only post we have from a self-proclaimed "sister". What we have , ladies, is a pharisaical group of ignorant women who may try to emulate those who have gone before, but are a pale imitation.
There are many organizations that one may join in order to further a walk with Christ. Personally, I recommend a church - many of which have groups of women who meet to study, pray and do good works.
Please, please, if you are a member of this group, don't pray for me. Between my husband's congregation and church school I've got the whole prayer thing covered. Pray for yourselves, and the humility that Christ demonstrated.

I'm sorry you feel that way especially since you call yourself a sister in Christ. And not all churches have women's ministries... Mine for example.
The ladies of Iota Theta Eta didn't start this silly conversation. And I think people let it rip because they did not know it would get back to us... That seems like gossip to me...
Some people think partying throughout the week then dragging yourself into church on Sunday is living the Christian life. However, they are truly uneducated. Many times throughout the Bible it talks against drunkeness, fornication-- both things greek life is known for. We're providing an alternative.
FYI, I've had many ops to join a D9 (NPHC) sorority.. being that both my mom and my aunt are in the greek system. I choose not to for the above reasons.
As for the Omicron-- yes, it looks exactly like an "o". The line inside of the theta makes it "different". And gets people asking... Again, I need not waste anymore time on this matter. There are more important things to do. But people who want to contribute to our mission and purpose will join and see the truth. We are humble women, who love the Lord, AND who are providing a real alternative to "traditional" greek life. For God's grace we are growing each season.
Our lines are getting longer. Praise Him!
Why so much talk about such a small org anyway if the people who are getting riled up did not feel threatened?
