It is a weekend of commitments that bring changes back to campuses and chapter houses.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Greek Conference 2011 saw many of these commitments made. From times of worship and prayer, to the discussion and interaction of the general sessions and concentrations, students spent their weekends reflecting on who Jesus is, and how he is relevant to life in the Greek system.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Here are some of the commitments that came from this year's Greek Conferences in Charlotte and Indianapolis:</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <ul> <li>16 fraternity and sorority members made first-time decisions to follow Jesus as Savior and Lord.</li> <li>21 made a commitment to investigate Jesus further along with brothers and sisters in their chapter</li> <li>254 students made re-commitments, indicating they wanted to repent from what was replacing God in their lives.</li> <li>295 students made a commitment to lead ministry on campus and in their house.</li> <br> <br> &nbsp; </ul> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Learn more about ÂÌñÒùÆÞ's Greek ministry and check out more photos and videos from Greek conference at the <a href="http://www.intervarsity.org/greek/">Greek ÂÌñÒùÆÞ webpage</a>. Look for Greek conference in the northeast later this year, and in Indianapolis and Charlotte again in winter 2012.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="_none block block-layout-builder block-field-blocknodenewsfield-news-keywords"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field--name-field-news-keywords field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">News Keywords</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/946" hreflang="en">Media Coverage</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/866" hreflang="en">Greek ÂÌñÒùÆÞ</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> Mon, 07 Mar 2011 21:06:04 +0000 AD-16225 1905 at
