I think when howdy96 said that she was looking for a Christ-centered community, she didn't mean that the entire sorority had to be completely focused on Jesus 24/7. I imagine she meant that she wanted a place where she could easily find a core group of friends who would share her faith and help her to grow in her Christian walk, a place where she could be 100% herself around the subject of faith and feel welcomed rather than ostracized. Certainly she knows that there are going to be women of different views in the chapters. I've been in jobs where it was frowned upon to speak openly about religion, and I've been in other jobs (still totally secular) where I've met wonderful men and women of faith who have had a positive impact on my own journey. I think I found a "Christ-centered community" there.

I've worked with several chapters as an alum and they were all different from each other. One of them had a substantial group of sisters who were very active in Christian groups on campus and had leadership roles in several of them. They were fantastic members of their chapter. They were definitely 100% themselves around issues of faith and they were much loved by their chapters, including their more secular sisters. They taught some positive things to their secular sisters and they learned some positive things from their secular sisters. It was an extremely enriching environment on both sides of the faith fence.
