Thanks Soror Vonnieluvs08 for your wonderful post and thanks to the fellow greek sisters who shared their points of view as well. This all boils down to you'll never understand it unless you are greek. There will always be misconceptions about what we do, but there are misconceptions in everything. I can give a married woman advice until I'm blue in the face but I'll never understand what's she's going through until I get married. The fact that the non-greeks posting here do not understand what we do doesn't bother me, it's the judgment that seems to go along with it. You tell us that the organizations we belong to are "ungodly" but for you to compare it to walking with the enemy is simply "ungodly" as well. Am I any less of a Christian than you because I wear letters and you don't? Do you truly know my heart? Do you know what relationship I have with God?
As I said in my first post, a decision to join an organization is between you and God and no one else. God did say "walk not in the counsel of the ungodly" but he also did tell us to "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation." (Mark 16:15) If you cannot be apart of something without putting it before God and falling to all of its temptations then you need to reevaluate your relationship with God, not the organization. I for one, use AKA as my tool to help others and show them God's love. Being Greek is not for everyone. If it's not a tool that God wants you to use, then don't do it but please stop speaking negatively of those who choose to.
