The whole religious thing is a major reason I didn't go for any of the fraternities on the GMU campus:
Kappa Alpha Order
"Kappa Alpha Order seeks to create a lifetime experience which centers on reverence to God, duty, honor..."
Kappa Sigma
"The star and crescent shall not be worn by any man but only...and above all else, one who walks in the light of God."
Phi Kappa Theta
"Fraternal, Intellectual, Social and Spiritual: these are the ideals of Phi Kap members"
Phi Sigma Kappa
"I hereby solemnly declare My Faith in the wisdom and love of God"
Pi Kappa Alpha
"...and to serve my faith, my family, my community, my alma mater, and my Fraternity"
Pi Kappa Phi
(actually their creed suited me just fine--but I was told the ritual probably has religious stuff in it as they are southern-founded)
Sigma Phi Epsilon
"This fraternity will be different, it will be based on the love of God and the principle of peace through brotherhood."
Sigma Chi
(God isn't really mentioned in the creed...but their symbol is a cross...c'mon)
Tau Kappa Epsilon
"To Believe in love and loyalty to my College, my Fraternity, my Country, and my God"
Theta Chi
"in the usefulness of my Fraternity, in it's influence and it's accomplishments and I shall do all in my power to perpetuate it's ideals, thereby serving my God, my country and my fellow-man."
But yeah--don't have to look too hard to find religious references in many organizations. If you don't believe in the creed, then don't join something which lasts for life.
