This means that your sorority(and not yours alone) gives the same honor, respect, and glory to others gods. Now as much as you want to ignore the wrong and heed the right, your covenant with Zeta is "binding", making you a willing and knowledgable affiliate to such things. Would God have you be a part of something that is grievious to you heart as you said?
What about the burial service songs? If you take the songs as written, then unbelieving Zetas go to heaven, and believeing Zetas go there to join them. Could this be true? You know not!
Honestly, you have TWO LAWS written on your heart; two lights in your life; Zeta and Jesus. Psalms 83:18 makes it clear that there is only ONE God and what His name is. You have joined an "organization" that does not submit to this truth.
I will PM this post to you since my posts are erased in quick fashion.

I received your PM. I am not going to debate this. You would have better results debating this whole thing with someone who is not saved.
All I am going to say is, unless you are a member of ZETA PHI BETA SORORITY, INCORPORATED, you have absolutely no right and you are in no position to speak on our prayers, pledges, songs, etc. To me, that is rather disrespectful. I would not even dare to tell you about your org's practices and how "unholy" they are. Why? Because I am a ZETA. I'm not supposed to know about the inner workings of AKA's, Delta's, Sigma Gamma Rho's, Alpha's, Kappa's, Omega's, Iota's or any other sorority or fraternity out there. I'm sure members of other organizations that have posted on this topic would agree with me on that.
If God has told you to denounce whatever org you belonged to, then that's between you and God and I am happy that you were obedient to Him. However, it is not appropriate for you to try and get everyone to do what you did. You have no clue how God is dealing with them. If you truly are concerned, you would pray for them. Pray that God's Will be done in their lives. Not shoot them down because they are saved and are active members of their respective organizations.
To sum this up, being greek and being saved shouldn't even be the major topic. There is something much greater in this world that we need to be concerned with. SALVATION of non-believers. Does it matter if a saved woman who happens to also be a Zeta talks to a person and prays the prayer of salvation with them? Or does it matter if a preacher who happens to be an Omega (love ya preachdawg!
) delivers the message that floods the altar with people who are repenting of their sins?
When it all gets down to it, it's all about GOD and GOD alone.
