Participating in both Greek Conferences this year has been a highlight of my time on staff! I served as the director of the LEAD Concentration at Greek Conference Indy, focused on training and equipping students to lead Greek Ministry on their campus or in their chapter. The DePauw students were unable to attend GC Indy due to sorority and fraternity recruitment. The following weekend, six DePauw students traveled 12 hours North Carolina to attend Greek Conference, Charlotte. We also had students attend an Indiana InterVarsity conference, Summit.

At GC Charlotte we had the following houses represented: ΚΑΘ, ΑΦ, ΑΧΩ, and ΣΑΕ. After GC, Margaret made the commitment to re-start a ministry in Alpha Phi. This past week three of us gathered in her room, prayed for women in the house and for the start of the house Bible study. Kerry has been co-leading a freshman Bible study with over 20 women. After recruitment, the freshman women joined all 5 sororities! Kerry went through the LEAD Concentration so she can better lead these women as they consider doing ministry in each sorority on campus.

The following are some stories from DePauw students who attended Greek Conference:

“Greek conference helped me realize that it is possible to be a thriving Christian while in a Greek setting. I realized how important it is to thrive in our own relationship with God, so we can then in turn help others come to God. It was truly an awesome experience to meet so many Greeks from around the country that share the same love for God.”
Grace, Freshman

“… I eventually was able to let it go and it was then that I truly gained a heart for evangelism. I had forgotten what it meant to truly care for my non-believing friends. I prayed specifically for my three roommates and since then have felt that conversations have been established with them in an attempt to share The Gospel.”
Megan, Junior

“My experience at Greek Conference in Charlotte was awesome. I gained so much from both the drive there, and the bonding that happened between myself and the other Greek students around me. It is such a pleasure to know that there are Greeks all across the nation that are struggling right next to me with a lot of the same issues. The leadership gave me hope and vision for how I should conduct a chapter meeting and how I should conduct myself with my friends. I look forward to going again next year.”
Adam, Junior
