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.
I posted this on another thread- but I did want to reply to your writing. I don't see where the Lord is in of these types of organizations- if they are beating on people- how horrible!!!
I know that I have heard about what they did to Becky and I think that it's good that she is standing up against Chi Omega. The members of that Sigma Theta chapter may be using this board as a place to whine, but they will learn soon, that their national doesn't care about them anymore for what they did to that girl. The public will not react to well to the issue either.

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?
