Bible Study

If you are only having a small fraction of the chapter participate, consider asking the other fraternities and sororities if they would like to have an all-Greek Bible study. You should be able to get a good-sized group that way.

Trying too hard to stimulate chapter participation could conceivably come across the wrong way - this is one area where you need to tread lightly.

I agree totally with 33girl.

Emphasizing religion in your chapter is going to make some feel mighty uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because I come from a northern school and had sisters of many different religions- catholic, jewish, hindu, atheist, protestant, etc. but I'd be uncomfortable at this being a chapter activity to begin with. Yes KD was founded on Christian ideals, but i'd be really uncomfortable with people trying to push religion on me.

And you also need to realize that for many college age men and women, religion is not yet a big part of their life.

You have to respect how each person believes in religion. Many very religious people think bible studies are somewhat silly, and prefer to do it on their own. Others like the group setting.

You have to let them come to you. By now all the chapter members should know that it's there if they want it. Don't push it further.
