University fraternities and sororities cultivate life changing relationships. The degree of influence to which students are exposed is like no other. As each student finds themselves at the precipice of their future life, it's imperative that the connections that they make help to point them down the path that leads to Christ. Greek InterVarsity was created to reach an influential demographic of campus students, and equip them to become leaders on campus, and world changers in their lives after graduation.
Several TBG partners volunteered at Greek InterVarsity's recent Greek Conference in Orange County. The following article submitted by the Director of Greek InterVarsity, Beau Crosetto, provides an inspiring recap of the event:
"Over the weekend of February 3-5, 200 fraternity and sorority students gathered at the Orange County Hilton to further explore how 'Greek life' and 'Faith life' can come together. The conference is a combination of plenary sessions, with worship music and a keynote speaker. There are also concentration groups designed to reach each student at their current location along their spiritual journey with Christ. Each of the concentrations are led by a table group leader who is either a Greek alumni, or person in commerce. TBG's very own Rich Kredel, Holly Wylie, and Rick McCarthy participated.
Rick had this to say:
'It was fun, encouraging & enriching to collaborate with these fraternity & sorority leaders who are diligently pursuing their faith despite the negative attitudes towards that in their secular colleges & Greek system. I also signed-up to be a Fellow (summer phone mentor), and have calendared next year's conference to facilitate a table again.'
The following are some statistics from the event:
- 190 students from 25 campuses participated;
- 18 students decided to take a step of faith, and committed their lives to Jesus;
- 96 students asked God to remove a barrier in their life that was keeping them from Him;
- 48 students decided to lead like Jesus, and lead a Bible study in their chapter; and
- 7 students who weren't ready to follow Jesus committed to continue seeking truth and learning more about Him.
Please pray with us as these students head back to campus, and please consider joining us as a table group leader during our 2018 Greek Conference in OC, February 2-3."
Our nation's future Presidents, members of Congress, and the CEOs of tomorrow are filling the universities of today. Let's work together now, to create a nation of believers for our future.
