And, like PeppyGPhiB said, one of the prevailing attitudes of the administrations is that your actions speak loudly. Or, as Momma always said: "Be careful how you act. You may be the only Bible that some people read." (Come to think of it, that is a good idea for Greeks. "Be careful how you act. You may be the only XYZ that some people see.")

And, if you don't agree with the rules, choose to do what I did: Go somewhere else.

Does Brigham Young Univ. still make their students sign a pledge saying that they will refrain from drinking, premarital sex, ect? See- we aren't the only ones.


ETA to respond to 33girl. It's churches of Christ (and yes, church is not capitalized for a reason). Churches of Christ are non-denominational. There is no governing body. Each is independent of the other.

Yes, Brigham Young still makes students sign a pledge. And some of the Church of Christ and other religious schools do, too.

Church of Christ IS its own denomination, but it is not to be confused with the United Churches of Christ, which is considerably more liberal. You're right, though, that CoC are independent of each other and they have no governing body the way, say, Catholics, Lutherans or Presbyterians do. They also do not have formal clergy; members of the congregation are considered ministers. The denomination is fairly evangelical and their worship style adheres to the Bible...no musical instruments in church, and women do not have a leadership role in the church.

I could never have gone to a school that imposed all those rules on its adult students. But there are a lot of students at Pepperdine that complain about the "dry" policy on campus and the three religion classes everyone has to take - and to them, I can only say, Why didn't you read all the materials, Web site, application, etc. the school sends out, because it's ALL in there. Like you said, people should make sure they understand the way a school works before they sign up!
