Can Faith and Fraternity Really Work Together?
Hey GreekChat fam,
I’ve been thinking about something that might hit home for a few of us. Can you really be a faithful Christian and still proudly rep your letters? I’ve wrestled with that question myself.
I’m a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc., and I’ve also spent years in ministry and leadership. Somewhere along the way, I noticed how often this topic gets people fired up. Some folks see Black Greek life as a conflict with their faith. Others see it as a platform to live out their faith through service, scholarship, and brotherhood or sisterhood.
I’ve heard both sides. I’ve even lived on both sides. The tension is real. That’s what led me to write my new book, Sacred, Not Sinful. It’s not a debate piece. It’s an honest conversation about how faith and fraternity can actually walk together instead of pulling each other apart.
But more than anything, I’d like to hear your take.

No arguing, just open talk. I think we could all use more of that.
