Christians unite in holy fraternity Shelly Ellers Staff Reporter WCU welcomes a new fraternity and sororitytoaccentour campus. Alpha Omega Chi and Alpha Omega Etelta unite in a holy trinity with God to form the Alpha Omega Fraternal Ministries. The national organization was founded jnCharlotteby former WCU student, Dustin LaPorte. LaPorte attended Western from 1989 to 1991 and was a member of the Sigma Chi (Alpha) fraternity. He transfered to UNC-Charlotte where he graduated last May with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in Marketing, It was at UNC-C that he founded the Alpha Omega Fraternal Ministries, of which he is the national president. Tiffany Ghewning, president of Alpha Omega Chi, introduced it to WCU this past fall. This organization differs from other fraternities and sororities in that it is not under the IFC (Interfraternal Council). Simply put, it is a non-denominational organization that welcomes anyone to join. It exhibits no discrimination toward anyone and is based on Christian morals and values. "It is a fun and exciting Christian orga- nizationdedicated to serving others through the love of Christ," says Tiffany, smiling. It is a very open organization to anyone. You don't have to be a member, or you can even be a member of other fraternities and sororities and join." There has been no official rush this semester because the associate members in the organization want to become well-acquainted with each other first. The pledging consists of 40 days and 40 nights of activities that includes reciting Bible verses. At the end of pledging, there is a national exam to take and then what the organization calls "rest and retest" There is also a 50 day initiation to become a brother or sister. Afterward each member adopts a little brother or sister. There are currently 25 members that make up the organization. Some of the organization's recent activities include a dance in which contemporary Christian music, such as Michael W. Smith and DC Talk , were played. The group has also visited an area nursing home. Their future goals include visiting homeless shelters as well as conducting food drives. They also have a desire to reach other sororities and fraternities on campus with their message of Christ's love. Goals such as these support their public motto, which is I John 3:18,".. ..let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and truth." Alpha Omega Chi's symbol for their sorority is the lamb, with the colors royal purple and white. Pledges carry wooden hearts around campus with each member's signature on the back. The Alpha Omega Delta symbol is the lion, along with the colors royal purple and forest green. Their pledges carry a two- edged sword with the handle in the shape of a cross The Alpha Omega's fraternal ministries' overall symbol is the reclining lion and lamb which denotes the seperate but connected nature of the sorority and fraternity. "I'm really excited about this ministry," says Michael Swink, president of Alpha Omega Delta. "God is so awesome! I just want everyone to experience whatHe has to offer. He changed my life, and Hell change yours— guaranteed! Through Him we can do anything and everything. I just hope those who want a life-changing experience will come and see what Christ is all about." A student reported that a bike was being vandalized outside Harrill at 2:04 am.
