I don't know about other organizations, but most of the symbols and teachings related to Lambda Chi Alpha are based directly on the Bible and the teachings of Jesus Christ. While a lot of our brothers don't live lives that are especially Christ-like (myself included), anytime I've dealt with a prospect that had an interest in Christianity, I've tried to show him that those ideas are what we're based on. Any Christian that is serious about turning ideas into action should at least be open to the idea of going Greek - while not everyone will share your ideas and attitudes about morality, the philanthropies, the charity work, and the acts associated with being a true brother are the most "Christ-like" activities you'll find in any collegiate organization. And yeah, at least on my campus that includes ones with overtly religious themes.
