My fiance is a member of Delta Upsilon. I like the fact that I can go to their initiation and everything. It helps me understand a part of him that he will never understand about me (since DZ is secret).

Interesting story-
My last boyfriend was a Phi Mu Alpha. My Best friend is ALSO a Phi Mu Alpha. Before that I dated three guys in Sigma Lambda Kappa, and an LXA. And all of these guys I dated.... BEFORE I WAS GREEK! Ever since I pledged I have had the hardest time getting a date! TG:confused: |
Given the choice, I always preferred to date greeks.....actually I guess you could say I exclusively dated greeks. It was more fun...they had mixers and date parties and formals to go to, and you could go hang around their house with your sisters. They didn't think our events were stupid and since everyone knew everyone it was always fun to be at stuff and see them there with their friends. I also felt that only a guy in a fraternity would understand my dedication to and time spent with my sorority. When I first started college I was still dating my HS boyfriend and I really pushed him to rush because I was going to. He did, but he wasn't really into it. I remember wasting money buying him a letter sweatshirt. He pledged a mediocre chapter that he didn't really click with, and dropped out shortly therafter....he never did get it why I was so interested in my chapter. A lot of times non-greek boyfriends (or girlfriends) got resentful of the time the guys and girls had to spend together during things like Homecoming or songfest.
Also, I loved getting lavaliered and pinned before we got engaged. Pinning was pretty rare at my school because the guys never wanted to give up their badges, but lavaliering was popular and I never understood GDIs giving a girl her own letters. What is the significance of that? It's certainly a nice gesture, but the whole point of lavaliering (I thought) was that it showed that the guy loved you enough to share his letters with you and show the world that you are his. Anyway... I am so glad I married a greek.....Homecoming is so much fun for us and both of our children are legacies. I wouldn't have it any other way. |
My husband is a Pike. We met when I was a Rush Hostess (read Lil Sis).

I never got lavaliered or pinned :( My husband said it was bad luck to lavalier (and it was - everyone we knew who was either broke up or is divorced now) a little part of me still wishes I had one though. He would have pinned me, but considering he lost his pin before I met him...

My boyfriend isnt Greek and i love him anyway ;)
|
My ex is a Tri-Delts. Greeks definetely a big plus in my case :cool:
|
My last boyfriend was Greek and my next boyfriend probably will be, too. I met my ex at the beginning of his pledgeship and broke up with him a day before his initiation...b/c he had been seeing another sorority girl (not my sister, thank god) behind my back. So for awhile I was all, "Frat boys suck," but I'm over it. I know the rest of the guys I date in college will probably be frat guys, too, b/c of the fact that my sisters and I basically always hang out with frat guys. Besides that, life is more laidback with a fellow Greek. They understand that you're spending the night with your sisters and frat guys (having a social) and won't get jealous, they think it's cool when you're out hanging with your sisters b/c they love their brothers as much as you love your sisters, they gladly attend your date functions, and they don't make too much fun of you when you're dressed up for a social. They understand that Greek stuff is important to you...like when you skip your fourth period to go participate in Derby Days...

my s/o isn't greek and actually, has a pretty negative opinion/attitude towards fraternities and sororities, in general. to keep the "peace", "greekdom" is rarely raised as a topic.
