From Step Shows to Spiritual Service: BGLOs as Ministry

What happens when Divine Nine membership collides with Christian faith? Dr. Lama Montgomery tackles this question head-on, challenging the notion that Black Greek Letter Organizations and spiritual commitment must exist in separate worlds.

Drawing from her personal journey as a Sigma at Ohio University in 1988, Dr. Montgomery reveals how these organizations—born from necessity when Black students were excluded from mainstream campus opportunities—can become powerful platforms for Kingdom impact. Rather than viewing Greek letters as something to hide or compartmentalize, she encourages members to see them as divinely positioned influence opportunities.

The podcast explores practical approaches to integrating faith within BGLO culture: building accountability networks that start with just one other believer, transforming traditional service projects into spiritual touchpoints, and developing cross-organizational collaborations through movements like Sacred Greeks. Through compelling examples—from campus Bible studies that attracted Greeks and non-Greeks alike to service events where prayer became as important as the practical help offered—Dr. Montgomery demonstrates how Kingdom purpose can amplify the historic missions of these organizations.

"Your letters are not a curse," she emphasizes, "they're a powerful platform if you'll let God use them that way." Like Joseph in Egypt or Daniel in Babylon, today's Divine Nine members can maintain their cultural identity while leveraging their visibility for spiritual impact.
