I am a Secular Humanist who went to college in Ga. I joined a historically Christian sorority and never felt pressure in or outside of ritual because of my beliefs. In fact, my Little Sister and I first bonded because she is Jewish and was worried about ritual, etc. The pledge trainer knew my background and sent her to me for a heart to heart.

I'm not guaranteeing you'll never be uncomfortable. Living in the South as a non Christian still leaves me uncomfortable at times. Like the HS graduation last night that opened with a Christian prayer. At a PUBLIC SCHOOL.

But I thought our ritual was lovely and fine and, yes... there were a few times I just didn't say the words.

And please understand. In a sorority of any size you'll have the whole spectrum of beliefs. I even went to Church once or twice to see what I thought about it.

Just keep an open mind and trust yourself.
