Is being in a fraternity or sorority against Christianity?!?

freshlikemoi · Sep 23, 2009

As apart of some of the programs we did in undergrad, we would often go to church. For example, "Fellowship with the AKAs". Things like that. So no, I don't believe being apart of a sorority is in any way not putting God first.

What's funny is, 90% of the arguments against BGLO's are opinions. That always happens when people aren't in possession of the facts and instead have to rely on hearsay. But you're right, agree to disagree.

Have you presented any scriptures yet showing that membership in a greek letter organization is against christianity?

Nope.

That's true... Anything put before God is a sin. Even putting family before God is a sin. If a person is convicted about the Sorority they joined and the rituals, they should leave. But as for me, my Sorority does not define me.... I think that is what gets it twisted. Many other Sororities do have to bow to a god or something... Mines does not. Even if they asked me to bow I wouldn't do it...

Exactly.

I don't know what sorority has to bow to a god, but it's not even about the details of who does what and when.

Anything, ANYTHING, can be made into your god. Husbands, television, food, school, being on LHCF, condemning other people, etc. etc. etc. Membership in a GLO does not automatically mean you are putting it before God and I don't know why that's so difficult to understand.

You are incorrect.

My post is factual. Anything that you allege is opinion was that of the AKA that I was paraphrasing.

My post that you quoted was in agreement with your post that I quoted Nefertiti; we were not in disagreement. I have no clue how you arrived at that conclusion.

Thanks Prudent1. ANYTHING that takes the number one place over God is against Christianity and against God.

Some of you need to realize that you can serve the Lord through a Fraternity or Sorority. I am a member, and I see my service in the sorority as serving the Lord.

Guess what, your idolatry of your children can be against Christianity if you let your love of them come between you and God. Even your marriage can become your "god". There can only be one God in your life. Who is that God should always be the question we ask ourselves.

Prudent1 said:
I don't think in and of itself sororities are against Christianity. However, they like any other thing can become little gods in our lives if we are not careful. Some of the activities many ppl engage in while participating in sorority activities are definitely not godly. So that has to be kept in mind too. Many ppl like the camaraderie and view membership as validation and a rite of passage of sorts. That's fine too I think since it is God who created us with our gregarious nature. I think the thing to remember is nothing can have 1st place in our hearts besides God. BTW, I opted out of pledging when I was in college b/c I was more mature than a lot of the other girls there at the time. A lot of the activities that were fun to them I could see the later ramifications of.

Pretty much everyone else in my family (males too) pledged something or the other. In proper context I think they can be fun.

This is exactly my issue with this discussion. I thought we were all Christians. Why is there such a negative tone in this forum? If non-Christians were to come read this thread they wouldn't be encouraged to serve God. They would walk away thinking why come to God when there's more drama among his people than there is on the outside. This thread started off with an innocent question of what's your OPINION? The responses started off pleasant but now it's a war with COG and 1Star trying to tell all Greeks that they're worshiping the devil? Please tell me what Heaven or Hell do you have to put us in? It is not your job to preach condemnation on us, that is only God's job. And to tell you the truth, he's much more forgiving than the two of you come off. I say all of this with love and concern. We as Christians need to learn to preach to others without condemning them. It's like when a preacher stands at the pulpit, he delivers his message and then gives an altar call. The preacher did all he could do to bring those listening to God but it's really on those listening to actually come to the altar and accept God. This is a Christian forum. With all the denominations out there and different versions of the Bible we read, we are bound to disagree. Please let's state our opinions and beliefs, pray that we've been a blessing to someone and then keep it moving. We don't need this forum to become Satan's tool to non-believers.

I am hesitant to make a statement either way but would not be surprised if further research would reveal that being in a fraternity or sorority is against Christianity. When I was in college, there was one organization that seemed different and fun, but it wasn't impressive enough. Overall though, I find that too many questionable activities take place within this organizations. Further, I pledge allegiance to God - not to a flag, not to a sorority etc. - but to God and God alone.

Ramya · Sep 24, 2009

If you are having any reservations or convictions about any organization or activity please pray and seek HIS advice about it. But also remember that a conviction is not law.

I wonder why this is the first some greeks like to throw around a lot....I'm sure there are plenty of people that are bitter, but there are plenty of people as well that had no problems getting into their sorority or fraternity and decided that they wanted out.

-----------------

There was an AKA on our campus, a year after she crossed she renounced her letters. The treatment she received from her chapter was...not Christ-like, let me put it that way lol. I felt so sorry for her and eventually she had to transfer. Now not saying all chapters are like that, but lets not sugar coat this...there are LOTS of greek chapters doing some questionable things, especially during the said "pledge" period. Yes, pledging is illegal, but I can count on my hand 3 chapters out of 4 universities in my area that follow that rule (and those three are the same org). Again, not saying this is everywhere but this is my experience and why I have some of the opinions that I do. Apparently being paper is just that AWFUL that they will risk their letters, chapter and possible freedom just for initiation.

DarlingNikki · Sep 24, 2009

Churches do a lot of questionable things too. And there are nasty people everywhere, church included. The "not Christ-like" treatment she received is no different than when *some* Christians turn their noses up at nonbelievers/people who believe differently (refer to this forum for examples).

Jermajesty, I don't have a problem with that because to each his own. I don't think people who do not wish to stay in a organization is evil and that God or Satan told them to get out of there. I wish them the best in whatever they decide to do in the future. :yep:

I'm not the Lord and try not to speak for him, but he does know my heart. I try not to and let me say it again, I try not to judge anybody else walk with God because I am not perfect.

I know how you feel because speaking as a Christian myself, I always wonder why do Christians constantly judge other people, especially, if they don't do the things we think they should or shouldn't be doing. :look:

You went to your dad and he helped you to make the decision to leave or to not participate in your sorority anymore and I respect that and glad that he was there for you. People have said that they prayed to God before joining an organization and decided to still join and do good things. My problem with some of the other posters is, how do they know that God isn't pleased with the works that the people who belongs to these organizations are doing??? :look:

I don't know what 'works' they are referring to but anything that is directly laid out in the bible-- fornication, drunkiness, lying, swearing, not loving your neighbor etc are not pleasing to God. Before yall start hollering about what yo organization don't do, I'm just being general from what I see and have experienced. The things that are pleasing to God: fellowship, service, love etc. :yep:

Agreed. Further, a lot of greeks are quick to make that statement when some of us never even tried to get into the organizations in the first place. If you not into greek organizations or something related to it, some greeks want to throw out that you must have been rejected from one. LOL. I just don't get it...

See...this is what people who are not familiar with these organizations do not understand. These organizations have strict rules to avoid this but this is not the organization, but rather a few college aged kids that choose to make up their own rules and process. It is no different from leaders in other organizations (or Churches) who knowingly do wrong. Once an Organization find out, these people are disciplined or kicked out. It is no different than the San Antonio police officer that assaulted my niece and was later fired. I cannot say that the whole San Antonio Police Department is corrupted.

Case in point...The Author stated that aside from a book a youngster had given her, what really made her decide to leave AKA was the case in California where the young ladies drowned and AKA said that it "was not them." As tragic as that situation is, and my hearts do go out to those 2 young ladies, it was NOT anything that was done from the National or Chapter level of that Organization. It was done by individual that chose to falsely represent AKA.

Not only does my Chapter have their anniversary at Church, they also support and donate to alot of the Church's ministries. As I stated earlier, there are alot of Godly Men and Women that I admire in these Organization, especially the ones that have been in for 50-plus years. And I am sure that those that take it upon themselves to "denounce" them and "send them to Hell" can actually learn ALOT from them. :yep:

ETA: Jermajesty...I am not saying that you were denouncing them.

I am glad to see this thread take a positive turn with civil communication amongst believers of Christ. When I read some of the posts I too felt that if I hadn't found the Lord I would have a problem coming to know Him due to the attitude and blatant negativity in the thread. I would be scared to meet some of them in real life.

I spoke with my line sister last night and asked her what she thought and she has grown up in the church and I find to be a good mentor in my personal disicpling. She made good points about greeks that make temples to there organization in their home, or who let the the letters rule their life instead of God. We both agree that its an individuals personal relationship with God that will determine if a GLO is for them or not. Just like all other decisions we make in life we must first go to God and seek his grace and council and then move.

God has blessed me with a new church home, great friends, a supportive family, and sorors that strive to help mankind.

Wiki on Greek organizations...
(not that it's an authority or anything)

Fraternity

A fraternity (Latin frater : "brother") is a brotherhood, though the term usually connotes a distinct or formal organization. The only true distinction between a fraternity and any other form of social organization is the implication that the members freely associate as equals for a mutually beneficial purpose, rather than because of a religious, governmental, commercial, or familial bond, although there are fraternities dedicated to each of these topics.[1]

In many instances fraternities are limited to male membership but this is not always the case, and there are mixed male and female, and even wholly female, fraternities. For example, for general fraternities: Grande Loge Mixte de France, Honorable Fraternity of Ancient Freemasons, Grande Lodge Feminine de France, and Order of the Eastern Star.

Fraternities can be organized for many purposes, including university education, work skills, ethics, ethnicity, religion, politics, charity, chivalry, other standards of personal conduct, asceticism, service, performing arts, family command of territory, and even crime. There is almost always an explicit goal of mutual support, and while there have been fraternal orders for the well-off there have also been many fraternities for those in the lower ranks of society, especially for national or religious minorities. Trade unions also grew out of fraternities such as the Knights of Labor.

The ability to organize freely, apart from the institutions of government and religion, was a fundamental part of the establishment of the modern world. In Living the Enlightenment, Margaret C. Jacobs showed the development of Jurgen Habermas' 'public space' in 17th century Netherlands was closely related to the establishment of lodges of Freemasons.[2]

History

There are known fraternal organizations which existed as far back as ancient Greece and Rome and analogous institutions in the late medieval period called confraternities, which were lay organizations allied to the Catholic Church.

The development of Freemasonry in the early 1700s became a watershed moment in fraternal organization, and there have been hundreds of varieties of Freemasonry, and thousands of closely parallel organizations since then. Virtually all fraternal organizations today bear some debt to the models of organization first worked out in Masonic lodges.[1]

The development was especially dynamic in the United States, where the freedom to associate outside governmental regulation is expressly sanctioned in law.[3][4] There have been hundreds of fraternal organizations in the United States, and at the turn of the last century the number of memberships was equal to the number of adult males, although, because of multiple memberships, probably only 50% of adult males belonged to any organizations.[1] In 1944 Arthur M. Schlesinger coined the phrase "a nation of joiners" to refer to the phenomenon.[5] Alexis de Tocqueville also referred to the American reliance on private organization in the 1830s in Democracy in America.

There are many attributes that fraternities may or may not have, depending on their structure and purpose. Fraternities can have differing degrees of secrecy, some form of initiation or ceremony marking admission, formal codes of behavior, disciplinary procedures, very differing amounts of real property and assets.[1]

College and university fraternities

Fraternities have a long history in colleges and universities, and form a major subsection of the whole range of fraternities.[6] In Europe, students are organized in nations and corporations since the beginnings of the modern university in the late medieval period, but the situation can differ greatly by country.

In the United States, fraternities in colleges date to the 1770s, but did not fully assume an established pattern until the 1840s. They were strongly influenced by the patterns set by Freemasonry.[1] The main difference between the older European organizations and the American organizations is that the American student societies virtually always include initiations, the formal use of symbolism, and the lodge-based organizational structure (chapters) derived from usages in Freemasonry.[1

msa · Sep 24, 2009

There is no specific directive in the bible against membership in a GLO. It's one of those things that must be decided by the person, and for some it is a sin while for others it isn't. You have to really pray about it and see whether your spirit is convicted. If it is, then don't do it.

Even after a person joins, it's up to them to figure out if they are making their organization their god. If they are, then they should stop. But please know that membership doesn't require allowing your org to supersede God, but it can if you allow it to.

I do hope that people will stop judging all of us based on what some people do. Just like you, a Christian, wouldn't want someone to judge you based on what some other Christians do.

Despite some of the turns in this discussion, it is an interesting one. I would like to look deeper into the history of these organizations.

Honestly, a lot of this might be in the approach. The dontgogreek.com site has some interesting information but does not provide the sources for some claims. And to be fair, it does seem a bit like it is attacking rather than trying to win souls over with a clear presentation of the information. Sometimes it is not what we do, but how we do it...

I agree with MSA, that you cannot judge everyone based on what some do. And of course, the same time, it is important to be careful of who and what we associate with.

Be blessed ladies!

Child0fGod · Sep 24, 2009

goodness, ladies.

fraternities and sororities are not in the holy, righteous and sanctified will of GOD ALMIGHTY. you can continue to agree to disagree on this here forum,

Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

but in the end, you'll be the one sentenced by a Righteous God for your decisions to continue to stay bonded to/in bondage to these organizations.

Child0fGod said:
here's my current booklist; i plan on getting each book one day or another. i recommend the same for you and anyone else who is seeking clarification on these organizations:

"Greek-Letter Organizations: Offspring of Abomination" book by Gail Gray

"Coming Apart at the Seams" book by Minister Fred Hatchett

"The Truth Behind Hip Hop" book by G. Craige Lewis

"Captain of My Soul: A Memoir" book by Whitney Gracia Williams

Gail Gray is an ex-Alpha Kappa Alpha, Fred is an ex-Omega Psi Phi, and I have a friend who is an ex-Kappa Alpha Psi. On Fred's forum/discussion board (dontgogreek discussion board), there are several testimonies of those who have left Alpha Phi Alpha. My sister is a Delta Sigma Theta, but I'm believing GOD for her renunciation. If you ever need any help finding these books, or need someone to talk to about everything we've been discussing on this board, please don't hesitate to send me a PM or something. I know our LORD Jesus will give you revelation from the words written in these testimonies.

Throughout her testimony, Gail mentions whether or not "people came after her" after she denounced, etc and how God had her personally pack up and move like Abraham. She also mentions how people leave their organization because they have a conviction in their spirit that they cannot ignore (literally cannot ignore)... this is called an unction from the Holy Spirit.

One thing Gail mentions in her podcast that is crucial in understanding God's will for His people getting out of these organizations and NOT joining these organizations is: "the will of the FLESH" vs. "the will of GOD." The will of the flesh is powerful. She said that she willed it in her flesh for her to be a member of AKA. And to be careful because people will say "I prayed to the LORD, and that was my answer." (I actually knew an Alpha who told me this, God forgive him and LORD help us get into YOUR will, and OUT of our own).

Luke 22:42

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Gail encourages us to sincerely and in honesty pray in our hearts the prayer above that JESUS prayed, when asking the LORD Jesus about joining these organizations. All of the fraternities and sororities associate themselves (oaths of allegiance/secrecy or both) with a pagan/false god whether covertly or overtly (she also explains why they say they don't "worship" the god but if you confess it with your mouth through the oaths, it becomes your god whether or not you bow down to it every day). It's a deadly spiritual bond/yoke.

If we let our own fleshly will go, we won't get caught up in these organizations which are displeasing to God our Father because it is not in His heavenly, holy and righteous will.

Listen to her podcast/TESTIMONY once, twice, three times... as many times as necessary; take notes. I've heard it at least seven times and I thank GOD for the undeniable truth in it (part of Gail's Testimony). Don't forget your other resources including your Bible.

I say, don't stop seeking the truth. The LORD Jesus will HONOR your search if your whole heart is in it. God keep you sis and I pray your strength and the strength of those reading this, and your personal continuing desire to please a HOLY GOD.

In Jesus' name, amen.

Is being in a fraternity or sorority against Christianity?!?
