I can't speak for all greeks but, AKA was founded on Christian principals and we do not worship any gods. We are considered greek because of our letters of our organizations. The thought that greeks worship any greek gods is false. Again I can only speak for AKA and for this much I can say is true. If we are greek it does not mean that we don't chose Jesus as our Lord and Savior. I know I do.

If we read the Bible, we can see that the very first commandment says "Do not worship any god before me." The 10 Commandments also contain the statement that we should not make an idol for ourselves to worship. Therefore, any type of organization which involves idols (such as Minerva or Demeter), is evil. Greek organizations that have a goddess or god as their patron, are bad because this type of thing promote the worshipping of FALSE GODS.
A true Christian would not continue to participate in a club or organization that has a false god as its symbol/patron/mentor.
If these organizations' rituals were brought out into the open, observed and researched, then it would help us put an end to their evilness.
You know that ancient temple... the one where the Eleusinian Mysteries (Demeter's Cult) were held (at Eleusis)? It was destroyed by the Christians. Any true Christian would know, deep inside their heart that an organization that involves strange rituals and false gods is evil.
God is a loving god and if we turn away from these evil organizations and denounce them, he will help free us from their binds.
God is a Judge, and he judges these organizations, and those who are involved with them. Isaiah 33:22
As Christians, we need to team up together and fight against wrong doings- I believe that many of these GLOs are founded on evil principles.
I hope that Chi Omega is the only Greek organization that does this kind of thing. Am I wrong?
