6.5*, that’s the rule. The Indiana University Senior Challenge requires a Greek senior to go out 6.5 times per week; it might as well be Greek law. But here is a question, how can someone go out 6.5 times a week and have any involvement with anything else? It’s a major commitment! There are so many other things going on between class (optional), organizations (expected), meetings (mandatory), groups(necessary), and something less conventional… faith. Students in the Greek system are asking questions about faith and making time to find answers. Can these Greeks look at faith without compromising their Greekness?
That’s what Greek InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, also known as Greek IV, is trying to figure out. Greeks across campus are getting into small gorups, question forums, and one on one discussions to figure out what faith is all about. So many of us already confess some sort of religious heritage, be it Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim or something in between; there has to be something worth talking about. Greek students are not looking for their parents’ religion. They are challenging what is true and what is important. Students are finding out that partying hard might be more than just the challenge of 6.5. If you’re a person asking similar questions about issues outside of where to go on Wednesday night (I’m still confused), reach out. You can check out Greek IV on Thursday nights at 7 PM in the Dogwood room in the IMU, or ask someone in your house looking at the same issues. If you have questions, there are answers; you might just have to take the first step.
Can all of this take place on Thursday night and not be hypocritical?
