Are NPHC orgs Christian? (Why I originally asked)

For all you Greekchatters who know me will remember a while back I stated an interest in joining an NPHC fraternity grad chapter. I was trying to see from the NPHC members themselves if they were Christian orgs; after all, birds of a feather flock together. I didn't want to join an NPHC org and later go inactive, so I posed the question directly to the members. Needless to say, for the responses I got, I had to probe for a yes or no answer because the question was frequently skirted. While I didn't get the answer from the org I desired, the 9 years experience associating with them is enough of an answer for me. My mind is clear and I have a direction I am going to go as far as GLOs are concerned.

There are Christian sororities and fraternities, but if I remember correctly, I doubt that any NPHC GLOs are Christian in nature.

NPHC orgs were founded on Christian principles and ideals and all or most of their founders were Christians. However, even though there are many Christians in our organizations, we do not discriminate based on religious orientation. As far as being Christian in nature, technically we are not, although there are many chapters that would probably describe themselves that way. My alumnae chapter is one of them.
