Christianity and going Greek?

[DuckMan]

Thanks for the reply.

DuckMan: I too am a Christian considering Greek Life. I will be rushing this fall. At first, I was worried not nessecarily about it being against Christianity, but more about it being hard to maintain my faith. I talked to some girls in local sororities who go to church with me, etc. and found that GLO's really don't care at all about your religous beliefs. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do on the off chance you believe it goes against your faith. I still plan on attending church in Seattle like I do where I live now.
I know that sounded confusing, but the whole point of this was to basically thank you. This is exactly the kind of thread I was looking for. If you do decide to go Greek, I wish you the best of luck!

Some GLOs are Christian based or have many references to God. For example, my Fraternity, Kappa Sigma, while historically based in Christianity, is open to people of faith. If you take our public creed, we have references to God and faith.

"The Star and Crescent shall not be worn by every man, but only by him who is worthy to wear it. He must be a gentleman... a man of honor and courage... a man of zeal, yet humble... an intelligent man... a man of truth... one who tempers action with wisdom and, above all else, one who walks in the light of God."

I am a spiritual person and have never felt, in my Fraternity, that my spirituality was being turned to a wrong or negative direction. So my advice is follow your intuition and heart. Find a Fraternity that fits your morales and beliefs and you'll be fine

Where is that "like" button on GC again?

Thanks for all the replays and I'm glad I've seen that my thread has helped someone.
