If your organization is in direct conflict with what many of us on GC calim to have, and that is a relationship with God, how are you personally going to see to it that your org doesn't keep you from God? And are you willing to keep your bruhs and sorors of your respesctive orgs accountable to the things of God. Here me when I say this, it seems some of you have taken a personal attack on The411 without having any scriptural bases for your argument. I don't know her personally, but I appreciate her convictions as a christian woman. The bottom line is this. If I met you today, would I see Jesus shining through you or would I just see your letters? Would I see you as Christian who happens to be in a BGLO? or would I see a Greek who claims to be a christian. And please don't excuse your behavior with Matthew 7. Nobody should judge, but I will sure do a fruit inspection. Nobody is perfect, but God never lowers His standards for our lives, because of our frailties, he set them high because of them. You all know my PM holla at the preacha!!!! Cuz I ain't never scared! LOL
Here me when I say this. I have not read any personal attacks on the411. Just people expressing what it means to them. Since you only mentions Christians, how do your feel about Muslims or Jews? My sorority turns neither away.

To the411:
Because you do feel so strongly that Delta (or any sorority) is contradictory to your faith, then yes I feel that formally renouncing your membership is necessary. When you became a Delta, you took an oath to a lifetime commitment. If you can no longer honor that oath than yes, cut the ties completely. I am not saying this as a judgement or out of meaness, but I think it is only fair to the sorority that you officially remove your name from the rolls and return all official outward manifestations of your membership. That will completely release you from your lifetime commitment.
