[StrangeFruit]

I think this is a very interesting thread.

As a sorority member I truly do not believe that belonging to a fraternity or sorority is serving another God. If however, you allow it to become who you are then perhaps it is your god and as others have said that's the individual not the organization.

I've never been one to engage in activities that I believed to be outside of my values or morals.

I've been criticized and ostracized by line sisters and chapter members for not going with "the flow." Some things just don't make sense. Many people would say I did such and such b/c it was done to me. My response was always, but did it make sense? What will the outcome be? Would you do that to your own children? etc.

BGLOs were all founded on Christian principles (as far as I know) and there are hundreds-thousands of BGLO members that serve God and are members of an organization(s), whether it be a BGLO, the NAACP, The Links, Mason, Eastern Stars.

BGLOs are to serve it's communities-help those who are less fortunate than us, educate our community on issues that directly affect us. I don't believe The Creator frowns upon helping others.

One could pose the same argument towards certain occupations.

It's what YOU do in the organization that determines if you're serving God or the organization, or your job, or money, or sex and everything else that can distract you from keeping God first.
