This whole argument about greek letter organizations/NPHC orgs being "Godly" or "un-Godly" is quite old and really stupid. People obviously have nothing better to do with their time. Our organizations are not religious. We are accepting of those from various religious/spiritual affiliations. What bonds us together in sisterhood/brotherhood is not religiousness although some members/chapters choose to pray and attend church together. And it's true that our organizations were founded on Christian principles since most/all of our founders were Christians but we are not Christian-centered organizations nor do we claim to be.
Also people fail to realize that our organizations extend long beyond college for many members so much of the "un-Godly" charge (which is highly debatable) refers to undergrad greek life, which can be highly influenced by college life in general, campus culture, and peer pressure. The organizations overall do not encourage/promote wrong doing and again, we are not religious organizations. And if we were, we'd be no different than a church congregation that has many members and can't control the behavior of all members nor would we be expected to.
You're not likely to receive much response on this topic though since many members consider it a waste of time to even discuss.
