Greek UNITE is a team of about 25 Greek students just like you, all representing different houses from the majority of both fraternity and sorority chapters across campus. The vision for Unite surfaced as a group of Christians in the Greek community
saw a need & came together with the hope to see more light than darkness in the Greek community. The goal from the beginning was 1.) to equip Christians with tools & fellowship they need to live out their faith in their house, and 2.) to minimize the stigmas of exclusivity, unhealthy lifestyle, and shallow relationship within Greek life at Alabama. Our #1 pillar is the belief that the life and gospel of Jesus is the answer to each of our individual longings; It is also the answer to unity between our chapters, and unity between churches/campus ministries. For this reason we describe Unite as a ministry initiative, but it is just as much a social initiative to counteract a flawed system. We so desire to reimagine what building relationships and being social can look like for the Greek community. Even to the extent of redefining the triggering associations with language like "swaps", "band room", "band parties", "philanthropy"- you get the point. As an organization we seek to "bridge the gap" a few different ways:
1. We provide opportunities for greek students to create meaningful connections outside of partying (...but we definitely have parties)
2. We connect greek students to campus ministries and churches in Tuscaloosa.
3. We Connect and Disciple Christians from different fraternities/sororities together to be united in heart, mind, mission and fellowship.
4. We'd like to normalize the Christian/non-Christian dialogue in the greek community. Our purpose is to create space to love one another better, as a means to strategically love and care for the Greek system. By the gospel going out and taking root in Greek life, we believe true Life will be taking root in the highly esteemed leaders and influencers in all spheres at UA, reaching all the way to the corners of our campus.
