To remind members they are not alone in their faith, Greek IV holds fellowships across the different campuses, providing a meeting place for these brothers and sisters to encourage each other on how to live out this new lifestyle together. “It’s not just a weekend experience, but a continual community as well,” Holmer explained.

Hundreds of students will “rush” next week and join their fellow fraternity brothers and sorority sisters at one of the biggest parties this year – alcohol free.

Greek InterVarsity, a ministry of the Christian campus fellowship InterVarsity, is hosting its annual Greek Conference in Indianapolis, Ind. and Charlotte, N.C.

Bid cards or invitations to the conference will be passed out by fraternity and sorority members themselves to other members of their houses, which according to Eric Holmer, the associate director of Communications at IV, is a much more effective way to reach students.

The three-day conference caters to both believers and unbelievers alike. Those strong in their faith will be encouraged and further trained to be a spiritual resource in their houses, while those with little to no faith have the opportunity to investigate Christianity further.

Guest speakers will tell of their own personal experiences with the Greek system in large groups and share with their brothers and sisters what it looks like to follow Jesus both in college and after graduation.

Attendees can choose to join breakout “concentration” groups focusing on different spiritual issues ranging from topics like “lead” and “thrive” to “influence,” “encounter,” and “connect.”
But it’s not all work and no play.

When hundreds of Greeks are gathered together, there’s bound to be some kind of party.
