Greek Life!

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

19Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. 22To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. 23I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Greek life (fraternities and sororities) make up 15% of SSU's student population. This is an unreached area of Sonoma State that IVCF and Christians haven't really been investing in. Many students that are a part of Greek life on campus feel uncomfortable coming to traditional IVCF events. For the last 2 years I have faithfully been praying for God to raise up men and women who are excited to be a part of Greek life and excited to share about Jesus in that place. In order to reach students that are a part of Greek life we need students to go that also want to be a part of Greek life. This year the seeds are growing as women like Shelby, Hillary, and Makeala are desiring to start a bible study for sororities! As we meet and pray together, their hope and vision is that girls would realize that they don't have to stop their faith while in college. They can both have a faith in Jesus and be a part of a sorority while in college. Pray that we will see more students reached because of these women choosing to take on this leadership!
