What about Christians who don't go to church or tithe?

My point is that there are MANY Christian sects, all of which believe differently, and some even have their OWN bibles and other scriptures. If you're going to create a Christian sorority, you'll need to decide what beliefs are acceptable/unacceptable for your sorority and then create a doctrinal statement so that your sorority's theological position is clear.

How knowledgeable are you about other Christian groups besides your own? If you're not too familiar, how are you going to develop policies, rituals, ceremonies etc that aren't going to be offensive to members of Christian sects/groups different from your own?

Those are just some things that need to be considered on top of all the stuff Senusret I told you. It's a lot to do and if it's not handled correctly, you could end up with a bunch of hurting (and possibly spiritually abused) women and a huge mess.

Just some food for thought.

That is so deep. I never even considered the Theological implications.
