Well i think the main problem of church memebers accepting you are greek is lack of knowledge of the greek world. When i went off to the University of North Florida 3 years ago, i pledged The Sigma Chi Fraternity. When i came home over Christmas break a lot of people were like woah frat boy!! But after talking to them about all the philanthropy Sigma Chi does for the Childrens Miricale Network, 6 of our 7 founders were ordained ministers, our symbol is the White Cross, our public motto is In Hoc Signo Vinces...in this sign you will conques, and that our history has an amazingly large christian history they seemed to understand that Greek life isn't about who can sleep with the most women, drink the other under the table and all the other animal house antics. That and the fact that when everyone saw my minister is a sigma chi from the Univ of Illinois everyone was cool with it. Educating people in the church and elsewhere about what true greek life is about and that you don't buy your friends....it is true brotherhood is the only way people will understand and respect you are greek.
