Greek acceptance in the church!

I think you are exactly right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but most of the members on this board are pretty honest when they post their opinions. True we don't always agree, but we rarely ever (IF ever) have turned the board into a battlefield since I've been here. I feel like that's what we have been doing the past few days is fighting some kind of war. If everyone was just honest & accepted that people may see things differently (yes, including myself), we would once again be a peaceful group of people.

Hopefully, it won't be much longer.

Love to ALL!

Allison

Q-T Pie, You obviously haven't been here very long!! LOL!

There are two interchangeable wars on this board, Race and Religion!! But don't take my word for it, go back to some of the old threads and look!

I just want to say that to be able to talk to you people on an kind of level that gets responses that aren't vile, you can't say HEY I"M THE GIRL THEY HAD RAPED AND DROPPED IN A COFFIN---LIKE OVER HERE- ABUSE ME SOME MORE FOR TELLING THE TRUTH AND MAKING ALL GREEK LETTERED ORGANIZATIONS LOOK BAD, EVEN THOUGH CHI OMEGA IS THE ONE I'M TALKING ABOUT! Sneeky? Why don't you ask the ones who are members of the defunct chapter and under criminal investigation to identify themselves, before they post? Fair is fair, isn't it? Or does it only work one way. There are people at the highest levels of government and school administration that very much want to converse with her, but you don't want her "sneaking up on you" and entertaining an intelligent conversation.

LOL ZetaAce
Thanks for correcting me because You ARE right. How could I forget? I usually try not to get involved in the race discussions, but everyone knows I'm there to talk about religion. Guess I forgot about the Fred thing! I can't even remember how many times I posted to him.

Geez...Thanks for making me laugh at myself for forgetting!!

It's amazing how the definition varies as to what a 'true christian' is between people. Ya know folks, go with what YOU think is right, and to heck with everyone else. Follow what YOU believe. People have done it for years (hense various denominations/religions). People use their definition of a 'TRUE christian' as a defense, AND an attack. Don't let people scare you or intimidate you with THEIR definition. You all have enough sense to decifer what you believe on your own. Who is anyone to tell you what is right or wrong? The Bible says "Judge not, lest ye be judged". If people are trying to tell you that you aren't a Christian, then they are just condemning themselves according to the Bible. It says that those that judge others will suffer a worse fate than those they judged. Maybe a TRUE christian doesn't concern themselves with what others do?

I'll be glad to post that way, but I will not disclose to you and of the details of this investigation to you, because I have been asked not to do it, by the D.A.'s office and our personal attorney. So, that's the only thing you won't get out of me and any personal information that puts me or my family at any further risk. I do want to tell you that Sigma Theta's and their boy friends, three car loads of them (recognized, thank you) vandalized our home on Saturday night, and any further indentification of us on this board will be taken as an attempt to cause an even more dangerous situation. If what you want to know from me is of importance to improving the situation, we will post, otherwise--no. Those are my perameters for continuing anything on a separate post.

Q-T Pie, I didn't mean someone on this board said I was going to Hell. I apologize if that is what my comment implied. I was told that by a very religious relative of mine.

OOps...Sorry about that. I misunderstood you. Thanks for the correction

It's interesting that people are still trying to debate whether one can be a Greek and a Christian. In the African-American community, a good number of pastors are members of NPHC fraternities and sororities.

[LexiKD]

I agree with you, LB1914.

I feel this is an odd subject, why would anyone think being Greek would be a one way ticket to hell? P.S. Who gives any one person the authority on who is and isn't a Christian and/or where we are all going eventually?

Maybe I missed something, but who knows, some peolpe have to make bad experiences into tall tales and lable every group that ever was.

Except for today's posts, the last ones were a year ago. Some things change; some things don't.

This whole christianity/Greek discussion is very interesting to me. My father's a pastor and when I pledged he was so against it. He still doesn't like the fact that I'm in the sorority because of the reputation that Greeks have, especially on my campus. I don't think it should even be argued whether or not you can be Greek and still be a Christian. Of course you can. I am in a sorority and am also a born-again Christian. I wore letters to church this morning and I know people think it's weird that I'm in a sorority and also go to church every week. Everyone seems to think it's weird. I'm known as the "Preacher's Daughter" by all the frats in my town You can't judge someone by what they wear or by what organizations they are in. Romans 14:1-4 says " Accept him whose faith is wak; without passing judgement on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands of falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand." Sorry I just wrote a book.... I just read that and thought it applied to what everyone's talking about.

Maybe it has something to do with the Southern Greek system, but a lot of adults I know in my church are not only very accepting of collegiate Greeks, they are Greek alumni themselves! In fact, two of my pastor's daughters are ADPi's, and a TON of people in my college Sunday School class (at home, this is) are in my sorority! In my church here at school, the congregation is very accepting of any student who comes, whether they are Greek or not. They want to encourage EVERYONE to strengthen their faith.

I was recently told I am going to hell several times over. First I am going to hell because I am greek, second I am going to hell because I've got a brand and several tattoos. I refuse to believe that my God will condemn me because of the way I've marked my body. The God I pray to told me to come as I am, flaws and all for he will accept me...AS I AM.

Do what my friend did, there was this dude who came up to him and told him he was going to go to hell because he was in a fraternity and something about the bible. Then the dude gave him a bible. Seeing that my friend was a Darwinist, he smilled at the dude and said, I remmember the exact word, "Thank you, I do enjoy work of fiction when I get bored."

What, lol?

The Bishop of Pittsburgh is a Phi Kap... Pope John Paul II, our current Pope, he is a Phi Kap.

We've been joking that God himself is a Phi Kap!!

Whats that about the Church & greeks again?
