...so event or mixer shirts are a complete no-no apparently?

I have 2 friends that have been dropped, one by her now fiance who was a Sigma Tau Gamma and one by her boyfriend who is a Phi Chi. It was a very personal thing for both of them, no special ceremonies, "engaged to be engaged" if you will.

I pinned my GDI ( long time after graduation for both of us ) and she understanding my feelings to SAE and GLO she understood its meaning.

I did, later, 'buy back' my pin with a heart shaped SAE pendant.

Lavaliering happens A LOT at my school. I think guys do it to put off proposing to their girlfriends, honestly. All the sororities have candlelights when girls are lavaliered. It's a big deal, but I don't think it means as much as it should.

Endure Pain.

I would have to agree with the 'a lot of pain' at my school, the guys that 'drop' their girlfriends use to (as in up to this past year) get taken out into the middle of the quad, tied to a matress or something similar and get "sh*t" on. This was sometimes literal, sometimes figurative... but they go a whole lot of disgusting stuff dumped on them. The fraternity would usually wait until a guy's girlfriend was off campus, and no one was allowed to untie the guy except for the girlfriend who had to give them a kiss to set them free. It was pretty gross. It only happenend one time this past year and it was with the local fraternity...but before this year, it happened a lot.

Fraternity Letters on Females and Sweethearts wearing letters?.

(Not trying to blow off the question -- I just knew that it had been discussed in these threads not too long ago.)

dropping
 

I agree if anyone who is greek has any respect for our values and beliefs and what is left of us you would NOT pin, drop, letter, or whatever a GDI. And for those that believe GDI's could understand, they have no idea, they will never understand, and it can never be explained. Until you earn them you do not under any circumstance deserve to wear them.

and on a last note GDI God Damn Independent is a perfect phrase. and those that are GDI's should plan on being referred to in that term especially if you are around Greeks, if you don't like it maybe you should hang out with other GDI's or go greek yourself.

^^ Sweetheart, what GLO do you belong to?

I was wondering the exact same thing. :rolleyes:

I noticed an influx of new posters with Fratty-like posts recently.

:rolleyes:

I was thinking the same thing. $5 says she (or a 'he' who's posing) doesn't answer.

Isn't there always an increase of "Fratty-like posts" during the holiday break? Often of the hit and run variety?

Don't even get me started on that again! :mad:

Wow I never heard of anything like that before. In my Fraternity Psi U, we do have what we call our sweetheart pin which is given to those who is close ot us. It depends though. I know my chapter in particular is very strict against nonbrothers wearing leters, even sweethearts.

IOn looking at this post, I wonder how you were so sure about the above statement and seeing how old this post is when it started?

OP is long gone!

DAH!:eek:

Yeah, I wouldn't wear my bf's letters (on a sweatshirt) if he did drop me. Event shirts are different, IMO. They just have a different connotation than block letters.

A lavalier though...heheh...you can find my other post about that, if you really want.

My boyfriend is joining a fraternity this fall and I am kind of nervous as to how they will treat me being his girlfriend, we've been dating for over a year now, I just want to make sure I am prepared for what is to come. BTW he is joining Pi Kappa Phi! Also, I am not part of a sorioty at his school or any where to be a matter of fact, im a senior in high school.

Thank you!

I am not jumping ahead, it must have typed this in a confusing way, i am just wondering how fraterinites treat their brothers girlfriends, im not worried about "dropping" or anything. When i said "i just wajt to make sure I am prepared for what is to come" I didn't that he is going to be "dropping" letters.

Its okay, after reading it, I completely understand where there was some confusion :]
