The sights and sounds of campus life at Clemson University are familiar from students rushing to and from class to what’s becoming a new scene on many college campuses. Frat houses, long known for alcohol-fueled parties, are seeing a surge in interest from fraternity and sorority members wanting to explore their faith.
“My eyes being open to my faith have driven me to the point where I’ve found purpose in Jesus Christ,” said Alex Osburn, member of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity.
Bo Morris of Kappa Sigma and Greek InterVarsity President at Clemson said, “We’re here every week learning scripture and having life conversations about what Christ is doing in our lives.”
“We’ve had everything from helping a girl get her first Bible to talking to girls about leading in the future,” explained Mallory Sickles of Pi Beta Phi sorority.

“Being able to walk through scripture and also open discussion for similar struggles and issues and sins and things we’re all dealing with has been unbelievable,” said Jones DesChamps of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Greek InterVarsity, a campus ministry that aims to see Greek students transformed by the gospel, has seen a 43 percent increase in participation over the last school year.
“Really in the past year or two, we’re seeing the spiritual hunger increase of students who are showing up,” said Dusty Harrison, Associate Director of Discipleship for Greek InterVarsity. “I mean, we’re seeing pictures and stories of fraternity houses that are just being packed and overflowing with students who are coming to Bible studies.”
With nearly 8,000 students making up Clemson’s fraternities and sororities, Harrison believes it is essential to reach them on their turf.
“The word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood, dwelt among us. That’s what we’re encouraging students to do with our ministry, is to go right where their brothers and sisters are, and to live and lead incarnation, Greek and Christian,” Harrison said.
