Just wondering, here:

I checked in two translations of Revelation, and found what I recalled -- chapters 1, 2 and 3 contain the references to, and contents of, the letters to "the seven churches that are in Asia." They are specified as Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. There doesn't seem to be a letter to the church of Rome among the seven.
ETA: To be on topic here -- In my high school and college years it was quite common for lots of members of the fraternities and sororities at the state university in my home town to attend church in groups, and to be welcomed by our minister. Certainly not all the members of every chapter would attend -- mine was a Protestant church, and Catholic students would generally go to Mass at the local Catholic church or to the Newman Center next to campus. Jewish students would choose from either Hillel or the services of the local Jewish community. So I wouldn't say there was any great observable divide between Greeks and Christians or Jews.
