Sacred Greeks: Balancing Cultural Identity with Christian Faith

Oct 30, 2025·By Dr Lyman Montgomery

You should not have to choose between your faith and your letters. Sacred Greeks exists to help you walk with wisdom, keep your witness, and lead with courage in Greek life and beyond.

Sacred Greeks is a hub for Christians who are members, alumni, or curious about Black Greek Letter Organizations. We address hard questions with scripture, history, and pastoral clarity. We also provide you with simple tools that you can use with your chapter, line brothers, or line sisters.

If you want the big picture in one spot, start at SacredGreeks.com. It is the home base for articles, videos, and study tools designed for Christians engaging Greek culture with integrity.

What Sacred Greeks Is About

We help you bring faith into real spaces. Campus, chapter meetings, service projects, probate seasons, and alumni life. Our focus is not on winning arguments. Our focus is on truth, unity, and spiritual growth.

The Core Questions We Tackle

1) Are BGLOs sinful
This is the question that starts many debates. Read Are BGLOs Sinful? A Biblical Response for Christians. It summarizes the key scriptures, provides historical context, and clears up common myths so you can lead from truth, not rumors.

2) Can I be Christian and Greek
If you feel pulled in two directions, see Is Being Christian Greek Incompatible? Time to Set the Record Straight. It outlines both sides fairly, then offers practical guardrails so your witness stays strong while your community bonds stay real.

3) Should I denounce
Pressure is real. Trauma is real. Internet heat is very real. Work through Should Christians Denounce BGLOs? Truth, Trauma, and Theology. It helps you weigh stories and scripture with wisdom, and respond with courage and grace.
