Is Your S/O Greek?
 

Among the GreekChatters, which of you have a significant other who is greek and which of you don't? I wondered if greeks tend to end up with other greeks or not? I guess that could also be influenced by when you met your significant other (i.e. if you met in college the s/o may be more likely to be greek since greeks tend to hang around together). Anyone?

I'm a Delta Zeta and my husband is a non-greek. We were both already out of school when we met. He didn't have fraternities at his college but has said he probably wouldn't have joined one even if they had.

My boyfriend is not Greek. There were Greeks on his campus, but he chose not to join one -- he didn't think he fit the "fraternity profile".... what he really means is that he didn't fit the fraternity stereotype. :D

However, he is very supportive of me being involved in DZ, and doesn't have a problem with Greeks.

My boyfriend is a Theta Chi. We met freshman year of college before either of us was even thinking about going greek (we had sophomore rush at our school). Neither of us was very sure if we wanted to join, but then we decided to give it a try. I think it was good that we both decided to join our respective org's instead of just one of us because we could understand what the other was going through. It was fun to pledge together because a few of my sisters were dating a few of his brothers so we all were always playing pranks on each other's houses. :) I think it is true that if greek people meet their s/o's in college, they are more likely to both be affiliated because greeks tend to stick together. I can't think of very many pairings of affiliated/nonaffiliated people from college, but it is much more common after graduation.

My wife (32 years) is not Greek. Her mother is an Alpha Delta Pi, but must have had a very bad experience in the sorority, because she told my wife that if she pledged, she would never see another penny from them.

My wife did go through rush, just to see what it was about and received bids from Pi Phis, Chi-O's and, of course, ADPi's. I don't know exactly how sorority rush works or worked, but I guess you could get bids from several groups and choose the one you liked best.

I was a pledge when we met.

It is interesting to note that my mother-in-law recently attended a reunion at her college and went back to visit the ADPi House and even had her picture taken in front of it.

Our oldest daughter considered rushing, but decided not to. She is in a Greek Lettered academic honorary. Our youngest son is about to go to college, and exhibits absolutely no interest in the Greek System.

My girlfriend of 2 years is not greek and never will be. She's supportive of my fraternity though. I drag her along to all of our parties and get togethers:D

Occasionally I give her a hard time about it but it's not that bad.. just means more of her time for me:D

My boyfriend is not greek. Would never have been greek, to some extent makes fun of me since I did it. When I was in college it was a bigger deal but now he's fine.

My boyfriend and I met while in college at one of his fraternity's parties. He is a Kappa Sig.

My gf is a Alpha Gam.

My husband isn't Greek--he went to a local college that has never had them and he knew zero about them. However, he has been very pleased with what he's learned about the Greek system and really enjoys knowing my sorority sisters who live in the Atlanta area. He's also happy that our oldest daughter is Greek and hopes that the rest pledge too. Most of his cousins are Greek.

Who knows? Maybe if our sons pledge, he'll be an alum initiate someday!

My boyfriend is a Sigma Chi

My Fiance is a Kappa Alpha

My boyfriend is a Theta Chi...and most of my sisters date Theta Chi's...it's really weird on my campus b/c most sororities and fraternities stick together when it comes to dating.

My husband and I didn't meet until after we were both well out of college, and he is greek... he's not an involved alumnus, however. But it's nice that we both have the background, and want to share that with our children some day. We have a box full of sorority and fraternity "stuff" that we thought would be fun if our future children ever went Greek. :)

My soon-to-be husband is in Phi Mu Alpha and I'm not affiliated.

My boyfriend is a Theta Xi. He's actually one of the people who encouraged me to rush my sophmore year and see what happened. I'm very glad he did.

My husband was the perennial pledge! Hee hee...it's actually a funny story. He originally pledged Phi Kappa Pi....then some crap happened and he got blackballed (I don't know all the details....nor do I care to know them)

Then he joined Kappa Sigma. They were only a colony on campus though, and they folded because they had the same number of guys as when the colony opened (7...they were all friends) This is when I met him, when he was a Kap Sig.....we met at my second rush event for my sorority!

He then decided to pledge Zeta Psi (at the same time as my brother) Well, to make a long story short, the brothers voted to defer him till the next semester. He decided he'd had enough and didn't come back.

He's very supportive of my sorority though!!! He made our sorority site and came to all our events when I was still active!:)

So in the end, my husband was greek, but is no longer a greek! :D:D

KappaStarboy is a Sig Ep, and my best friend (a guy) is a Sinfonian.

My guy is not in a fraternity. His university has about two inter/national fraternities, and one of them keeps giving him bids but he turns them down every time. I'm starting to get a kick out of it! He likes the guys, but he doesn't really see the point of joining a fraternity.

He's cool with me being a DZ, though--he didn't have a very good image of sororities because of the ones where he goes to school, but hopefully I've changed that a little. ;)

Mr. GammaPhiBabe went to the same University that I did (w/ a strong greek system), but he didn't go greek. I don't think he ever even considered it. He was in the Marine Corps, though, so I guess that's "fraternal" enough for him.
He used to go along with me to parties when we were both in school, but now that I'm an advisor, he just tolerates my being busy with sorority stuff a lot.

My husband is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha.

My high school boyfriend of 5 1/2 years joined Sigma Chi.
The guy I dated after him was a member of Theta Chi.
My next boyfriend of 1 1/2 years was a member of Delta Tau Delta.

I pretty much stayed within the Greek system. In the town I went to school there isn't much of a social life outside the Greek system.

I don't know if I can call this guy my BF (hopefully I will, soon)...but he's a PIKE. Unfortunately his chapter shut down (for reasons I don't know why) and he upped and left and joined the Marine Corps. We met a Jamba Juice and it happened that I was wearing my letters that night. We hit it off right away!

My boyfriend is not Greek but he did consider going greek. His freshman year at UCF he rushed a frat and his junior year here at UNF he pledged Sigma Chi and droped (it wasn't for him). Oh well, unless we break up there goes my dreams of getting a lavalier.

My girl happens to be greek, she is a Delta Zeta, so I think I can relate to her more than a girl who is not greek.

Just so happens that my most recent ex was also a DZ, so my new DZ says that I'm on some kind of "DZ streak."

It's very interesting like that...

My fiancee is not greek - we met in high school. :)

My I-don't-know-what (I call him that because we dated for two years, broke up, got back together, and now he hasn't called in EIGHT DAYS) is very very insanely oh my God hella-anti Greek. He hates the fact that I'm in a sorority, and makes fun of it all the time. He understands that they're my dearest friends, but he still makes fun of them. He won't look at any pictures that I have of any of my sisters, and he wouldn't even take me to my formal! I took my friend instead and had a BLAST!!! Any time I wear letters or like a bid day shirt he doesn't even like to hug me because he's afraid he'll catch on fire or something. It's really annoying.

And another thing, he and his friends are all really really tight, and he always says they're like a fraternity, so they're going to create their own fraternity. But it's going to be a Roman fraternity, because the Romans defeated the Greeks.

Can you tell I'm not too happy about it?

Hmm... Dee Zee obesssed much?!?! haha :p just hopping from one sister to the next - i think youre a DZ wannabe ;)

I understand..Mr.. XO_Princess is a Sigma Nu. The one before him was also a Sigma Nu. What can I say? I just love those guys! :D

My boyfriend's a Kappa Sigma. I'm not greek yet but next year I start college and I'm planning on it. And I'm excited! All the guys in his fraternity are really nice though.

My hubby is a Sig Ep! In fact, I met him at a mixer and it was love at first sight (for him, at least! ;))

AOX81, Good Choice!!!!!!!!

Where is he a LXA From? PM me if prefer, would love to get to meet and chat with him!!!!!

My ex was an AGD, but dont hold that

against Yall, her being a redhead is enuff!

I am not good with red heads, soorry!

Have many great AGD pals on here I hope!:)

Mr. SoProud is a PIKE and, if possible, even prouder of his GLO than I am of mine (though in a very chapter specific way). We met at a Pike/Alpha Xi exchange -- and three other couples that met that night got married, too! He was chapter advisor of his chapter when I was CA of mine, too cute. It sure helps when I do my volunteer work that he understands my drive to stay involved. Plus, I get to wear a gorgeous diamond and garnet Pike pin next to my Quill!! :D

greek s/o?
 

My boyfriend isn't greek at all, and in fact is entirely against the whole concept. He has been asked to be a Sinfonian so many times but each time he gives them some sort of rude rejection. He wasn't really supportive of me when I rushed SAI, but he's learned to deal w/ it. Part of it comes from the fact he dated our former chapter president and he has a lot of bad memories of her. :rolleyes: What a drama king he is!!! But nonetheless, I do love him, and I hope I can show him that it is a meaningful experience.
Roses,
H.

My husband is a Phi Kappa Tau, and I am a KKG. We met way after I graduated from college. I never even dated anyone Greek when I was in school and ended up marrying a Fraternity man! It's really nice though because he supports all of the alumnae stuff I do!

My bf is non greek. We have been together for 2 years (so pretty much my whole college life so far). When i decided to be greek he wasn't really all for it. But he got used to it and now hangs out with the Lambda Chi's, Phi Sigs, Sig Nu...almost every fraternity on campus. He still to this day will not be greek though. Not because he hates the greek system, just because he doesn't have anytime to put into a fraternity.

My fiance is a TKE! And a very involved one. He's the president of the Dallas alumni chapter and a GPA (regional guy).

My husband is not greek. He did go through rush (we went to the same school... there are about 25 fraternities on campus) but he didn't see anything he liked. He really didn't understand my sorority involvement, but he accepted it as a commitment that I had made long before I met him.

My husband is not greek but has been supportive since day one. We met in high school but did not date until I went away to school. I have been extremely involved as an alumna and he is still supportive!

But of course!
 

My fiancee is an
Alpha Phi Alpha and I'm a Sigma Gamma Rho .http://www.plauder-smilies.de/remybussi.gif

my bf is not greek. his dad is a member of kappa alpha psi but my bf went to georgetown and there's no greek system there. or so he tells me. even if there was, he wouldn't have pledged since he can't stand greeks... well except for me and his dad and stepmom.

Hubby didn't go Greek at Iowa even though he did live in one of the fraternity houses..can't remember which one. Now he's a very supportive squirrel-lover! ;) :D
