There have been several students that were "curious" about Christianity, so they check out a Christian organization and not only do they learn more about Christ, but they form new friends and fellowship.

So ironically, I believe that a Christian organization that excludes people defeats the purpose of being Christians. I hope I'm making sense to you guys
Elon is private. UNC is public.

Public institutions may not fund groups that exclude people based on religion. If this fraternity wanted to be Christian, but still allow others to join, then UNC, in my opinion, would be in the wrong. This is a fraternity that chooses to exclude people based on religious beliefs. This group should be allowed to exist, but it should not receive funding from a public institution.
