I was born and raised agnostic (which means I neither purport or refute the existance of God) and I find it very bothersome that a greek organization would require a member to believe in god. Believing in a higher power doesn't make you a better sister or brother than someone who chooses not to believe. I feel there is something inherently judgmental and unfair in using belief in god as a requirement for membership. How do you even broach such a subject? Do you run around rush parties asking people what their religious convictions are? My mother always taught me it was rude to put people on the spot that you don't know and ask them their religion.
What happens if you extend a bid to a rushee, not knowing their status, and then find out that their a nonbeliever?
Race, religion, Ethnicity have nothing to do with what makes a good member. There are many wonderful nonbelievers who serve their greek organization every day. To refuse members on that basis is ignorant and prejudiced!
