This was my point. A good number of NPCs mention "Christian identity" somewhere.

Being Christian or not for joining was never my point. But a Christian majority chapter can identify with Christian elements and use it as thinking it's okay to do Christian things. It's justification.

I won't reveal my gender or GLO but Christian "things" are in my ritual. I don't want to specify what. I know we are not alone. If those "things" are in rituals and ritual is a backbone of a GLO, it's not surprising that chapters are ok to do "things" that might be "things" like pray to God as a group. If you look at a whole picture that seems normal when considering that they might have similar "things" in the ritual.

You don't have to be Christian to join, but you have to do what ritual asks which can include a Christian oath, Christian creed, Christian principles, and Christian practices.
I don't know if you're purposely obtuse, but considering you used MY sorority as an example and are in effect saying we're something we're not, it makes me a tad hot under the collar.

I suggest you go look up the word "exemplar." I also suggest you look up the word "identity. " You're going to have to turn pages twice, because they're two different things. Using your logic you could have just as easily said ASA has a Jewish identity since we have a Jewish exemplar. But since you were just cherry picking to find what you wanted, you didn't bother to read that far.
