I just saw this thread. As a Christian, staunch Greek. and seminary graduate who has talked with brothers about their walk with Christ and how it squares with their fraternity membership, this is a interesting. Many Greek groups have a strong Christian history (as does mine which still has a strongly Christian fundamentalist ethos and a reputation for being "wild"). I've been in a fraternal context where someone was at the point of being hazed for not confessing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
It's interesting because "Christian" Greeks, from the listing we have so far,seem to mirror general Greek groups in terms of their breakdown along racial/ethnic lines. The first controversy the church struggled with was the inclusivity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ:in Christ. St. Paul in Romans,1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians elucidates how this is at the core of the Gospel but we have, as in the first century,failed to meet this challenge. Food for thought.
