Why do you consider that rent? They say it is a great way to meet people who generally have some of the same interest as you, For one in this case, Christianity. Is joining something like this wrong in the eyes of God?

Personally a sorority is not for me AT ALL!!!! but, it is one of those things that you either hate or love. so if you think you would enjoy it, go for it. if you are unsure... go to intervarsity, leave your dorm(if you live on campus) door open and talk to people as they pass down the hall way.
yes it is important to make christian friends to keep you grounded. but how are you to witness to others if all you do is hang out with fellow believers?

You have to pay to join it. And they are your friends because you join, not because they randomly met you.
You dont have to join a sorority to make friends. Go to a BSU or Wesley House or talk to people on your dorm or go to a church in the area that reaches out to college kids.

My school only has enough dorm space for first year students. Frats and sororities also have an infamous reputation throughout the college town, and there are thus very few students who are a part of them at my school. I personally hate fraternities and would never join one. Craigslist.org is a great place to find roomates. Intramurals is a good way to meet people on campus too. I don't really like most of the clubs at my school, but they are also an option.
When you graduate, there are no frats or sororities in the real world. You have to make friends by yourself. I'd rather deal with a little lonliness while trying to build my own friendship network than relying on an already established one. These skills will pay off later.

Come on now, don't make all the same. Yes, some do have fees, and some have registration fees. it is not completely renting friends, or buying them. My good friend Monique is involved with one and all the girls are close knit, because, they want to be.
Every university is different, people are different. if it's Christian it should be true... No?

I guess that is one thing I am asking, Is it okay for a Christian to be in a Sorority? I Know that the bible says something about Taking oaths or swearing to be in something so by being in a Christanity sorority I would actually be taken an oath to God right? Thats what I really want to know your opinions about. That is the part that does not make sense to me. I have heard that we, as christians, are not suppose to swear or take an oath to organizations and such. I have been told ( By some very old fashion people) that Greek Faternities and Sororities are something that Chrisitians should not do. Is there any where in the Bible where it says we should not be a part of Groups such as these?

I don't think there is anything wrong with them, and I think a ton of people are overgeneralizing here, too.
I was never one for fraternities or sororities... just not my thing at all. But it doesn't mean that the peole who do enjoy that type of social interaction are "buying" their friends or "renting" them or whatever. There are lots of professional, "adult" organizations that you have to pay a fee to be in... Rotary International, Lions Club, etc... and you can't honestly say that those people are "buying" their friends, right?
Sororities and fraternities can also be good ways to meet people, and some of them take public service very seriously.
My sister goes to a Christian school, a real Christian school where you still have to take Bible classes and go to chapel and all, and she is rushing. My sister was the most popular girl in high school and does not need to buy her friends. She's in it for the fun, for the public service, and just the "experience" of it all.
So NO, I don't think there is anything wrong with it at all, especially at a Christian school.

Is it ok for a Christian to play sports? it's not about the term, but about the group, and each group should be taken as they are and not as a collection.
In my area ASU and UNC are both universities, but if you go to one or the other you will receive a very different education.

It depends on the organization. Look at the people who are already in it. Are they really Christians or just pretending to be ones? What are the activities they're involved in officially and unofficially? Do you have the time to commit to it? What frats are they associated with? I think if your purpose is to just make new Christian friends then a Christian sorority would definitely suit that purpose and its not the marked road to evil and fakeness that some people are purporting it to be. Maybe not a hundred percent of those girls will be your friends 10 years from now, but that's life.
I think it wouldn't hurt to try if you're still interested in it.

Either way, you are still paying money to be a member, you are paying those people to be your friends.

That's your view. But I maintain that paying money to an organization doesn't make every member your friend automatically. And none of that money is going to the sorority members personally with a written endorsement that now you must be friends with the new inductees (at least in my knowledge of it). You are in a sorority to meet new people and there is a chance that in all the time that you spend with those other people you end up making friendships that last longer than five minutes isn't what i call a bad thing. You can't buy true friends.
