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.

ooooh, girl, I hear some shoutin' music in the background! Preach, preacher!
Before pledging AKA, I thought I'd have a problem with taking vows toward Alpha Kappa Alpha because of what the Bible says about "being better not to vow at all rather than to vow a vow and break it" (btb paraphrase). But since being in the Sorority, I believe that I've not compromised the word of God. And just because we did take oaths to uphold the whatevers of our various organizations, how often do we do the same in our everyday lives? It may not seem like it's on the same level, but when we were hired on our jobs and we basically signed a 'contract', did we not essentially take a vow that we would do our job to the best of our ability? Can you say honestly that you've done that every single day that you've been at work? I can't - because if I did, I wouldn't be on GC every day!
My pastor said that in his office of a Bishop (COGIC) he had to swear to uphold the beliefs, rules/regs of the Church. We essentially are making oaths when we take the "right hand of fellowship" when we join a church. But I'm sure that all of this is about more than taking oaths, or is it?
Anyway, although I know I need to step up my game between me and my Daddy, He hasn't told me to denounce Alpha Kappa Alpha, nor do I feel "led" to do so.
