"Being Greek brought me to God"

Growing up in a Christian home, I did it all - got baptized, attended Vacation Bible School, took my first communion, and then got confirmed. My home church was a huge part of my life.

Going back for more

I first became a Christian in fall of 2012 when I heard someones testimony and felt like God was there speaking to me. I had never felt anything like it and the feeling overwhelmed and amazed me. In the fall of 2013 I went to Greek Conference in Boston where I felt God was speaking to me telling me to share his word with others in my sorority. While at the conference, I learned more about the potential of leading a Greek Bible study.

What happens when people object to a Bible study?

To varying degrees, chapter ministry leaders across the country have experienced resistence to having a Bible study within their fraternity or sorority.

Get to Know: Sarah at the University of California, Berkeley

How did you first hear about/get connected with Greek InterVarsity when you came to campus?

The summer before I came to Cal, I ran into a girl at my home church who is a year older than me and had been at Cal and in Chi Omega for one year. When I mentioned my concerns about how being in the Greek system might affect my faith, she told me that some ministry leaders were actually hoping to start a fellowship for Christians in the Greek system in the upcoming year. Once at Cal, I became a member of Chi Omega and got involved with the brand new Greek ministry, which would later become Greek IV at Cal.

Get to Know: Chase at the University of Georgia

How did you first get connected with Greek InterVarsity when you came to campus?

The first time I ever heard about Greek Intervarsity was when one of my brothers, Skylar, was giving a talk about "Red Solo Cups" at the Greek IV core meetings on Wednesday nights. He invited me, and a bunch of my other brothers were already going so I decided to attend. After going and seeing how nice everyone was and how great the community was, I decided that this was something that I wanted to dedicate my time to.

Who are we (not) drinking for?

This BIG Question comes from Casey Groff, who has been on Greek InterVarsity staff since 2009. She shares out of her personal history with alcohol, and the countless conversations she's had helping fraternity and sorority students walk through their questions and relationship to alcohol. Casey's story adds to an important conversation about the intersection of partying and life as a Christian. We hope you are able to think through this topic with a new perspective.
