It is one thing to join an organization when you're not Christian, it's another to join the organization when you do not agree with its historically Christian ideals. To use your analogy...a black woman who has a problem with white women shouldn't join an historically white sorority. If you have a problem with something, don't place yourself in the midst of it. These are Greek lettered organizations, you don't HAVE to be a member...if you chose to pursue membership, that's something you must deal with. You shouldn't expect the organization (as a whole) to accomodate you but so much. This isn't Burger King, where you can have these organizations YOUR way. You can foster a certain amount of change within your chapter, but even that doesn't go but so far.

LOL! Burger King Have it your way!
I didn't read that A.D. had a PROBLEM with Christian ideals. I will quote from the article. She asked a sister, "Do you do Christian prayers? I don't want any part of that." I can completely understand that. She didn't want to take an oath to a sorority that contradicted her religion. She also indicated that she liked the diversity of Alpha Gamma Delta. In case I was unclear, I think that it was smart of A.D. to raise the question in order to be fully informed about her decision to join the sorority rather than discover it was going to be a problem after or during initiation.
