There is a wonderful group of women who have formed Delta Psi Epsilon Christian Sorority, Incorporated. It was started out of Oakwood College in Alabama, but members are now all over the place. I know the National Officers very well, and can get you in touch with them if need be.

Or, Look up Delta Psi Epsilon on the web.

Wonderful truly committed women who have Christ in their hearts and lives.

Hmmm...isn't Christianity its own fraternity? Why are the "Greek" letters necessary? Is it a recruitment tool or something?

The Christian "fraternity" from my yard wore line jackets, had line names, and had a "probate" show like the NPHC organizations. Is THAT a recruitment tool?

Are you more of a Christian if you have "Greek" letters on?

Ironically there is a poem about Christianity being the "first fraternity" but as far as my own organization is concerned its not a "recruitment tool" nore does it mean you're any more "Christian" than anybody else. Its just that in order to minister more effectively to a college campus, we use the Greek-Lettered familiarity(sp?) to reach the campus since Greeks are very well known and have a lot of voice on a collegiate campus. Do we have line jackets? Yes. Do we have line names? Yes. Do we have coming out shows(we do ours a little different though)? Yes we do...In the grand scheme of things, does it really matter? Nope...

Having seen an Alpha Nu Omega probate, it really is a different experience. Not ENTIRELY, but definitely very classy. The org also seems to have a solid structure and a great support system for its undergrads. It shows in its expansion and its programming.

The other good thing about the org is that it really is what it says it is -- a Christian Alternative. When I see Alpha Nu Omega members, I don't see them as competition. I don't see their members as somebody Alpha lost out on. I say hey, that person found the right fit for them.

If they're happy, so am I.

It is not about recruiting for Christianity or the Christian religion. Christian fraternities and sororities are an "out-of-the-box" ministry in and of themselves that give Christians the opportunity to take part in Greek life without ever having to feel uncomfortable about anything going on within their organizations.

So of course you are not more of a Christian with Greek letters on, but the organization is a tool for Christian young people to have an umbrella under which to minister. No a Greek organization isn't necessary to do that, but it is another avenue.

While I am not offended by the idea of Christian GLOs, I wish many of them would realize that there are Christians in other GLOs. It is possible to be a Christian and still be a member of a mainstream fraterity or sorority... Just my two cents....

BYXEagle · #14 06-25-2007, 12:41 AM

That is true. As a member of a Christian GLO I try my best to remember that. I think those people that are offended by that though should also remember that they are a Christian before a Greek brother or sister. If you put your fraternity before your faith, then you aren't committed enough in your faith to be offended by that. IMHO
