And once again, having what are referred to as "Christian values" does not mean you are a Christian. None of those "references" you cut and pasted says you have to be Christian to join, and Pi Phi's explicitly states that it's not necessary.

I am not. You brought up comparing AEPi to what individual chapters have been said to do.

This was my point. A good number of NPCs mention "Christian identity" somewhere.
Being Christian or not for joining was never my point. But a Christian majority chapter can identify with Christian elements and use it as thinking it's okay to do Christian things. It's justification.
I won't reveal my gender or GLO but Christian "things" are in my ritual. I don't want to specify what. I know we are not alone. If those "things" are in rituals and ritual is a backbone of a GLO, it's not surprising that chapters are ok to do "things" that might be "things" like pray to God as a group. If you look at a whole picture that seems normal when considering that they might have similar "things" in the ritual.
You don't have to be Christian to join, but you have to do what ritual asks which can include a Christian oath, Christian creed, Christian principles, and Christian practices.
