No matter what God is beleived in by Faith, there is meaning among All of us.

We just started a Kappa Upsilon Chi chapter here at The University of Texas- Dallas.

There are also chapters at Texas Tech, Wayland Baptist University, Southwestern University (Texas), Georgia College and State University, University of New Mexico, University of Oklahoma, Lamar University, and University of Florida.

Short 'n' sweet:
University of Florida has Sigma Phi Lamda (Sisters for the Lord) (Great, sweet, fun girls) and their borther fraternity, Kappa Upsilon Chi. The sorority is just a couple of years old and seems to be growing pretty decently. They do hold fall and spring rushes much like the NPHC and MGC.
We also have Chi Alpha, but they are not set up like traditional greeks.

Alpha Delta Chi and Alpha Gamma Omega

I am a proud alumni of Alpha Delta Chi the national Christian Sorority. I was in the Theta chapter at Fresno State and It made my college experience everything I wanted and more! There are currently 13 active chapters throughout the US and one chapter is in the refounding process. There is also interest growing at UVA and there is an Alumni at Texas A&M who is trying to start up a new chapter there as well. For more information check out the national website at www.alphadeltachi.org

We also have a brother fraternity Alpha Gamma Omega who has 9 chapters, 8 in California and one in Colorado at CU and a Colony is in progress at Colorado State. They are amazing men and I know we at Fresno are totally blessed by their presence at State and the brother and sisterhood we share. For more info on AGO go to their national website www.ago.org

Two generations of Christian Fraternities

I think of there being two generations of Christian Fraternities. The first one which basically ran from more or less the beginning of the social fraternal movement until the 1960s and the second which ran from the 1980s until today.

For the first generation. as I understand it, a significant number of current (and former) members of the NIC required that their members be Christian. These requirements were side by side with other requirements such as ethnic/racial limitations. I believe that these occured more often in fraternities founded south of the Mason-Dixon line, but was not limited to them either. I'm not really sure when these religious requirements went away though. I know that some of the NPC sororities also had similar limitations, but I know less about them.

Also, the religious requirements may have gone away in two phases, IMO, it is easier to justify to a college administration requiring a belief in God (banning atheists) than requiring a belief in Jesus Christ (banning Jews).

I don't *think* that any of the NPHC fraternities had (or have) religious requirements except maybe for a belief in God.

In the second generation, the reaction of administrations tends to vary based on how much the group attempts to act like a social GLO. If a Christian Fraternity acts like a subset of IVCF with Greek Letters and is willing to be on the Inter-religious council, I think they won't get much static. If, OTOH, they make an active effort to join the local IFC, things tend to get much uglier...

Also, does anyone know of any current GLOs with a Religious requirement other than Christianity? (have to be a Jew, have to be a Muslim, etc.)

I thought there was a Muslim-based sorority, but I can't remember the name now.

My mind often resembles that remark.

A member of SAO

I know this response is very late but as a member of a Christian Greek letter organization which is Sigma Alpha Omega Christian Sorority, Inc and since my sorority was mentioned in earlier posts, I must clear the air of any misunderstandings in regards to my sisterhood. Sigma Alpha Omega is a very young organization only 16 years old, however we have grown tremendously in the past 5 years. SAO is both faith-based and a social organization. With it being social, a young lady who has an interest in joining SAO cannot have another interest in joining another social sorority. That includes all Panhellenic Sororities, NPHC sororities, and MCG sororities. So I honestly don't understand how AXOeva was able to be a member of both AXO and SAO? For I know our National Policy forbids us from joining other SOCIAL Greek Letter organizations. SAO throws socials and events just as other social sororities, we do however require more of our sisters. We have a national non-profit organization Sisters by Grace and our national philanthropy is Ovarian Cancer in alliance with OCNA. Our membership in SAO is lifetime and we are founded first in Christ and second in sisterhood. I don't want to go any longer but more information about our requirements to join SAO is found at our website. Hope this clears everything up some!
