Another new sorority... Iota Theta Eta???

Holier-than-thou attitude is never something that appeals to me, and so their setting themselves up as the TRUE women of Christ, as they put it, annoys me.

But if you were the type of religious that these women appear to be (no alcohol for anyone, clubbing and bar hopping are displeasing to God, every member holds an protestant evangelical understanding of what it means to be saved, etc.), is there a GLO already out there who would meet your Bible-thumping needs?

Personally, I think my GLO has a lot of truly devoted servants of God just as I think all GLOs probably do, but I completely understand why someone with as narrow a vision of Godly as the founder of that org holds is probably going to think that we NPC and NPHCers waste a lot of time on other stuff.

Your post: Maybe it justifies the existence of Radical Christian Terrorists? Oh, wait, that's militia...

So, who does the Devil got these days?

Everyone in the dating and relationships forum.

(kidding. totally kidding)

ETA: Seriously, I think you can be a devoted Christian in almost any GLO (even the ones people describe as Jewish often have Christian members), but if you're one of the people for whom literally everything you have to do must re-affirm or testify your Christianity at all times, you're going to drive some people in your GLO nuts.

I'm tempted to contact them and ask them what they think of the tv show Greek.

I agree with you, but you haven't been harangued by this looney tune Reverend Fred Hatcher and Hatcher Ministries yet. They ONLY want all the NPHC affiliates to be dismembered--I mean disbanded

But, we all know they would not EVER challenge the IFC or NPC because, dayum, where were they get their money from to harangue us?

Why do you think they are getting NPC money? Or are you kidding?

Have you EVER in your life met some stoopid people before that are like this? I am kidding about the IFC and NPC, though. However, SOMEbody is financing and profiteering their tripe.

My guess is that when one insults Greeks we all get upset and pay attention. Other people are curious, so they come to hear your message. So it increases the total pool of people who might hear your message generally.

It finances and profiteers itself, basically.

Yes, I have known a lot of people like this in real life, and the more they self-segregate and I don't have to deal with them, the happier I am in the short term..

Wow for those who are suppose to represent "finer" womanhood and sisterly love, there sure is a lot of backbiting and slander going on here. I've recently had fellowship with this organization and I find them to be some of the nicest Greeks I've ever met. People who truly uphold the principles they stand for unlike some other organizations I have been around. It's okay though. We understand everyone does not have the same intimacy with God to hear Him clearly when He calls and appoints you to an assignment. However, if it is something you desire He is readily available to you.

Judge much?

AlphaFrog · #12 07-18-2007, 02:49 PM

I guess my Purpose clearly was not to found God's sorority.

But if He ever did decide to use me to found His sorority, I just hope He gives me the right letters to begin with. I just hate it when God makes typos.

That still doesn't change the fact that the name of their GLO is based on a mistaken understanding of the Greek alphabet. Theta does not translate to an "o".

What about those of us who believe there is no god? Oh noes, what will we do??

Which I have yet to see about other orgs. I have known backbiters and gossipers in them all.

I want to say something... about the greek letter "Theta". The letters that were chosen-- were chosen as a way to minister. When a person (who is not familiar with the greek alphabet) looks at the letter omega it does not look like an O. Where as Theta is closer. So when they see IOH. They ask what is that? and we can say "I Owe Him"-- as in I owe Jesus Christ my life. And they can say "ahhh, I get it." But some of y'all would never understand.

FYI, I'm not the founder. I am NOT speaking on her behalf, I'm speaking on my own.

We will pray for you. Now run along... Why waste your time making fun of people when you have important work in the community to do?

For someone who's never insulted members of other organizations, you seemed to do a pretty good job here. "Some of ya'll would never understand"? So what, we're all Godless because we aren't in your organization? Don't kid yourself. Don't worry, we'll pray for you, too.
