Just because a sorority has Christ or a saint as their patron or exemplar does NOT mean Christians are unwelcome or would be uncomfortable there. Many sororities have Greek gods or goddesses as exemplars and that certainly doesn't mean they worship them. Many sororities were FOUNDED on Christian ideals, but all 26 NPC groups do not discriminate on religion. What they may have done 70 years ago is not relevant today.
However, if you're really talking about a Christian sorority - as in not one of the 26 NPC groups, as in a group where you have to be a professed Christian to belong - that's another kettle of fish. I would wonder, however, why such a group would be going the whole way through rush with the other NPC groups.

All I can tell you is that it did not sit well with me, if you don't trust your gut instinct what else is there to go on? I've tried foods that I thought I would despise but ended up loving at virtually no cost to me. I don't want to join a sorority that I didn't feel right about after paying a lot of money to "possibly like it." If I knew that there was nothing stopping me from going forward I would have continued on. I don't have mommy and daddy supporting me like many of the girls at my school do, so my money is just as important as my time. I want to belong to a sorority that I feel very comfortable with. I respect the individual values that each group has, but the last two were not for me. It's as simple as that.
