From what I have observed or been privy to in the past, a lot of folks who totally disassociate themselves from the sisterhood or brotherhood do so because they believe that it goes against religious doctrine. Some believe that we are cults
and that our "rituals" are paganistic. Some believe that we are practicing the worship of idols due to our valuation of symbols, colors, etc.
Ultimately, I see nothing in Delta that goes against the Bible. Delta, as all of the orgs do, seeks to practice sisterhood/brotherhood, service and scholarship. God teaches us to love our neighbors/brothers/sisters as ourselves. He teaches us to help others. He also wants us to be smart. So as far as their being a conflict, again I see none but I do know some ministers who
"TWIST" the word of God to be against our orgs as well as other "modern inventions".
