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?

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....

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
