Hollywood and the media glamorize the University as one of parties, fraternities & sororities gone wild ... etc. But, for those of us who serve on the campus, we know that God is very present, involved and concerned for the lives of college students.
InterVarsity Students in Newark, NJ hosted an event in honor of Women's History Month called Mirror Mirror on March 3rd with a goal to share about God's love for women. We dealt with images of the fashion world that bombard women's self-esteems daily as well as heard from a friend of the ministry who shared we need to learn to be CONTENT, THANKFUL AND WORSHIPFUL to the Lord to find our true value.
Our greatest success was being able to partner with two sororities on campus - Lambda Tau Omega, Inc. and Kappa Psi Epsilon. We initiating more opportunities to partner with the Greeks on campus. It was a delight to see their commitment to hospitality and community service. It was great to begin to build relationships with these women. Please pray for InterVarsity as we take strides to cross invisible borders on our campuses for the sake of the Gospel.
Last month, we were also able to invite some brothers from a prominent Fraternity on campus to serve alongside us in a community service project in Elizabeth.
"To the [Greeks] I became like a [Greek] ... I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the Gospel..."
