I am confused at how you can have been involved with other GLO without having been a member - since according to the ITE website you are not allowed to be a member of more than one GLO? Not calling anyone out, just trying to ease my own confusion about your organization (other than the whole Protestant choosing-to-be-saved thing but that's a completely different discussion!)

Yes, This is an organization founded by One person, I am not sure why the criticism on that note? Anyhow, the founder, as all Christian women do, has a personal relationship with a Her Lord and Savior. Through prayer and meditation - which most Christian women do - she had an idea, a dream, and she went to her Father (heavenly of course) for permission and confirmation. That is all, that is all the divine inspiration one needs. It is nothing difficult to understand there.
Unlike some other organizations, ITE is strictly Bible based. This is a group of women that joined together in the bonds of Christian Unity to build each other up, empower each other and to support each other in our faith. That is the Alternative part....It has absolutely nothing to do with Academics, it is Community Based, it is not a "be what you want to be", "how you want to be", "when and where you want to be" type thing. These are women STRIVING to live for God's purpose. Notice the striving. These women are not holier than though, nor have that attitude, frankly I can't stand that either. They can really care less where you are on your PERSONAL spiritual journey with God as long as you are striving to live for His purpose. If you fall as we all do, there is now someone to lift you up. Yes, sometimes you can find this type of thing in our churches, however, unfortunately the church has more of those holier than though type attitudes you speak of in this chatroom, than anyone really wants to deal with. This is not a fake thing. It is not a you vs me thing, this is a God thing and no one is going to distract us from this. We are learning more about how we live, learning more about how we should live and keeping each other company in Christ through His Word.
There are some of us that have been involved in other Greek Letter Organizations and to tell you the truth, it has absoluetley nothing to do with you. No one is dogging anyone out, the way I have seen us dogged out here. The difference between This organization and many others, is that we are all about our walks with Christ and empowering each other to stay on that path.
Oh, as for the chapter names...It is not a Greek thing.... Alpha and Omega....God is the Alpha and the Omega... the beginning and the end.... No need to further explain that one...As for the words in between look them up, if you like, for their biblical reference and to what they mean.
Our spirituality is not a joke. We can not speak for other Christian Fraternities and Sororities, because even with them, there will be differences and similarities. But that does not make us enemies...We are all Sisters and Brothers in Christ and should love each other accordingly. Not try to tear each other down for things we don't undrerstand, nor judge each other. BTW - The reason we are in this chat room is because someone gave us a heads up that we were being slammed. So, we came to check it out for ourselves.
Any other information you would like to know, just ask? Nothing is secretive here. Pics on the website are for our family and friends, our rituals are open, everything that goes on and is said, you can read about it in the Holy Bible, doesn't matter what version. There is nothing for us to hide from or be ashamed to show others. So anything else on your mind, or perhaps that you don't understand...Please feel free to contact us and ask.

I don't have time to read a post this long. Can you have your sky fairy call my assistant?

All call for GC Clinical Professionals Healthcare Providers...

The etiology of this current overly religious GCers: long discourse without circuitous thought patterning, agitation and aggression, dementia, schizophrenia, personality disorder including paranoia, disruptive traits including inappropriate anger, suspiciousness, and threats of self-harm or harm to others are common presentations.

Mania — The American Psychiatric Association's diagnostic criteria for mania include the following.

• A distinct period of abnormally and persistently elevated, expansive, or irritable mood, lasting at least one week (or any duration if hospitalization is necessary)
• During the period of mood disturbance, at least three or more of the following symptoms are present: inflated self esteem or grandiosity; decreased need for sleep; more talkative than usual; racing thoughts or flight of ideas; distractibility; increase in goal-directed activity; and excessive involvement in pleasurable activities that have a high potential for painful consequences, such as spending money or sexual indiscretions
• The mood disturbance leads to significant impairment in social or occupational functioning. The symptoms are not directly due to substance use or a general medical illness.
• The most common behavioral symptoms associated with manic episodes include pressured speech, hyperverbosity, physical hyperactivity and agitation, decreased need for sleep, hypersexuality, and extravagance. Less common features include violence, religiosity, pronounced regression, and catatonia.
• Impaired insight is a frequent component of the manic state and may impair compliance with medications. Patients with mania may experience depression, irritability, expansiveness, or mood lability during an episode of mania as often as they experience euphoria. A "mixed episode" is characterized by a sufficient number of depressive symptoms to meet the criteria for a major depressive episode while also meeting the criteria for mania.

Differential diagnoses suggest: Schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, abuse of alcohol, cocaine, or amphetamines, and personality disorders such as narcissistic, borderline and histrionic personalities may mimic bipolar disorder, and at times coexist with the illness. In addition, in the primary care setting, clinicians may be confronted with medical illness with symptoms that resemble manic episodes including thyrotoxicosis, partial complex seizures, systemic lupus erythematosus, cerebrovascular accident, human immunodeficiency virus, tertiary syphilis, or steroid-induced mood symptoms.

Evaluation: Evaluation should include a mental status examination, clinical history, physical examination (including a neurologic evaluation), vital signs, review of all medications, and laboratory studies including complete blood count, liver function tests, thyroid stimulating hormone, and routine chemistries. It is critical to obtain information from family or other caregivers since the patient with dementia, delirium, or psychosis may not be able to supply their own history. Family members should be encouraged to bring in all medications to which the patient has access. The Folstein Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) is a fast and easy screen for cognitive dysfunction.

Rx: The treatment of bipolar disorder can be organized into three distinct phases depending upon the current state of illness:

• The acute phase of treatment focuses upon containing the presenting level of symptoms and often includes establishing safety with the patient. The patient in the acute phase may be suicidal, psychotic, or displaying such poor judgment as to pose an imminent risk to themselves. Hospitalization is often necessary until the severity of symptoms lessens.
• The continuation phase may last weeks to months with a goal to reach full remission of symptoms and restoration of functioning.
• The maintenance phase of treatment aims to sustain remission and lasts at least one year after the resolution of symptoms. Long-term or lifetime maintenance is recommended for patients who have suffered three or more manic episodes
