please understand that being founded on Christian principles means nothing unless all members actively put those principles into practice.
If you speak in the terms you are asking, then no, they are no longer acting on those christian principles. Why? Becuase the non-christian members will not follow the 'christ-like' process it takes to be Christian, so in their everyday life, they will not carry out Christian principles. However, that shouldn't be the question here, it should be does the GROUP carry out it's Christian Principles--because it is the sorority that we are talking about, not sara, jessica, martha, and mary. If these girls are all buddhist, then they themselves were not founded on christian principals, it is the SORORITY that is founded on those christian principles. In this sense (the group), the answer would then be yes. The group as a whole is not responsible for the individual actions or beliefs of one member. The group as a whole DOES, however, take part in furthering their ideals involving helping their fellow mankind in many endevors such as feeding the hungry, helping with child care programs, cleaning up trashy highways, volunteering at hospitals, helping build a home for habitat for humanity, and so on. Those are the Christian principals that we were founded to DO. We can't base the groups purpose on the actions of individuals. The group functions as one while they are representing themselves but the function as individuals at all other times.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are asking, but that is how I understood your question.
