One of the largest evangelical college campus ministries in the United States country is seeing the Spirit of God moving among its students.
Greek InterVarsity is a ministry within the larger InterVarsity Christian Fellowship which specificially aims to minister to students in fraternities and sororities.
These are social organisations on university and college campuses that provide brotherhood or sisterhood, networking and leadership development.
They are often called Greek Life and referred to as the Greek System because they are all designated with Greek letters such as Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa, Alpha Sigma Chi and Delta Sigma Theta.
These fraternities and sororities are founded on shared goals, creating lifelong bonds through academic, social, and philanthropic activities.
“STUDENTS ARE BEING RADICALLY TRANSFORMED BY JESUS”
Christian leaders on campuses are reporting seeing a surge in the number of fraternity and sorority members walking away from their party lifestyle and “being radically transformed” by Jesus.
Greek InterVarsity’s vision is: “Every Greek is one friend away from Jesus.”
The ministry is teaching students how to lead Bible studies in their fraternity and sorority chapters.
On many campuses, Greek InterVarsity offers a weekly gathering for students from all Greek chapters and councils to come together for worship and fellowship.
“GOSPEL IS SPREADING LIKE WILDFIRE ON CAMPUSES”
Brian Mann who is the National Director of Greek InterVarsity, told K-LOVE News why he believes the Gospel is spreading like wildfire among this group of students.
“In the network of a fraternity or sorority, one person’s actions can spread quickly as there’s a lot of interconnectedness.”
“When one student living with their friends decides that they’re going to partner actively with what God is doing in word and deed, it means that the 100 or 200 friends that they are living in close proximity to, are just one friend away from knowing Jesus.”
Mr. Mann said many of these students are “doing life” together, and as a result, when one student lives boldly for Jesus, all the others are “seeing what’s going on.”
HUGE INCREASE IN GREEK INTERVARSITY PARTICIPATION
Simply put: Greek InterVarsity is “bringing faith and fraternity and sorority life together,” according to its website.
And they are finding huge success.
According to their website, InterVarsity saw a 43% increase in participation in Greek InterVarsity across the US during the 2024-25 academic year.
“Students walked away from confusion, isolation, and brokenness, and chose the meaning, community, and wholeness Jesus offers,” according to the InterVarsity annual report.
INTERVARSITY REACHES NEARLY 70,000 STUDENTS THIS YEAR
CBN News reports InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA is reaching students of many different backgrounds, including special chapters for nursing students and athletes.
InterVarsity has reached more than 69,000 students and faculty this year.
One chapter at Indiana University saw 98 fraternity and sorority students make decisions for Jesus
Brian Mann told K-LOVE that there’s an unwavering interest among Gen-Z to share and know Jesus.
GREEK INTERVARSITY NOW LARGEST STUDENT GROUP ON ONE UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
He pointed to one example of a student at Purdue University in Indiana.
“There’s over a hundred students like Ava that are leaders taking risks in word and deed across the Greek system there.”
“That means that out of the 6,500 students that are in a fraternity or sorority at Purdue, one out of six of them are actively involved on a weekly basis in a Bible study connected to Greek InterVarsity.”
“They’ve become the largest student group on the campus.”
