Anyone ever hear of this Christian Sorority?
Just stumbled across it...
http://www.iotathetaeta.org/

Possibly the only sorority ever founded by direct Divine revelation. Even their "pledging process" was given to their founder by God. He works in mysterious ways to be sure, but I'm not so sure this is one of them.

Ah, well whatever floats their boat. Sounds like they have thought it out. (First time I've seen ONE founder though)

Yeah, I came across their site before. This is the one that promotes themselves as an alternative to traditional sororities, for those that want to align themselves with God 100%...yada, yada, yada...

Is that referring to sororities or GLOs in general?

In general, I've always seen multiple founders. Not saying I've seen it all, just strikes me as odd.

As far as I know, and Wikipedia too.....Lambda Chi Alpha is only credited with one official founder, Warren A Cole, although there is probably more to that story.

As I said, I don't know the foundings of every greek organization.

I know, and I wasnt jumping down your throat or anything, I was just offering up a fact about another group having only one founder. I mean why would I expect you to have knowledge about every single group, or LXA for that matter, its not like I know much of anything about Sigma Kappa. I was just trying to enlighten the rest of the world on LXA!

Tom Earp deserves credit for founding his fraternity.

It was later absorbed by Lambda Chi.. but y'all have to recognize Tom Earp here.

Shouldn't God have known that the first set of letters the founder came up with were already in use???

Isn't that what convents are for?

What I found humorous is that they call themselves DIVAs, apparently for "DIVINE * INSPIRATIONAL * VIRTUOUS * ANOINTED * SISTERS IN CHRIST." Ironic, since the modern word "diva" comes from Latin via ancient Italian and means "goddess."

Oops.

Apparently, according to the founder, women in other sororities can't be aligned with God 100%... so the first set of letters must have been stolen from God before He had a chance to give this girl His divine inspiration.

Just glancing through the website, I had to roll my eyes at the number of times that it was explained that this group was unlike other sororities because of their high moral fiber as compared to other groups... and yet it was also mentioned that they know nothing about how other groups function. Like "well, we know nothing about other sororities but we're completely different because they're all whores and drunks."

This is the exact same you-can't-be-a-Christian-and-be-in-a-sorority attitude from non-Greeks that drives me crazy... and it's coming from women who are members of a Greek org!?!

Did anyone else see the pics? I think I saw a handsign in there...Did God tell her what her handsign should be?
