Do you find it more attractive that someone is in a GLO?
 

I dont know if this is just me, but ever since I was initiated I think that girls in sororities are just a step above ordinary girls...There are specific sororities that I think are HOT and it makes me want those girls more, but in general I think that when a girl wears her letters there is NOTHING hotter...Am I the only person that feels this way? What is the girls opinion?

Its sort of pavlovian, but to this day, when I see certain combinations of letters, my eyes light up.

I'll second your emotion.. I love a hottie in letters. I think though, I'm attracted to that type of guy because he would have the same feelings towards GLOs as I did, versus a guy not in a GLO.

For instance.. my boyfriend is not Greek (he's very anti-greek actually) so, when I talk about my sisters, or what not, he doesn't understand.. but when I talk to this guy i have a little crush (nothing serious.. I think he's wicked cute..and sweet! :p ) about DZ, he completely understands, because he is Greek.

I dunno.. it doesn't make me like a guy LESS if he's not.. I just think its an added bonus :)

Definitely!! I feel they appreciate or at least understand my committment to my sorority. I also find that non-Greeks think that mixers and social events are all about hooking up with fraternity guys and have heard endless fights between sisters and boyfriends about mixers and stuffs as a result. I never got any complaints when my ex was in a fraternity cuz he knew what it was all about.

YES! No matter if it is local, IFC, or NPHC, I smile whenever I see letters. IMHO Greek guys tend to be more sociable, ambitious, and sophisticated than any other sub-group of college guys.

No.

I did when I was a new Greek freshman/sophomore looking for parties, but now I'd prefer it if they weren't.

Cosign.

Some members live and love their org from the moment they pledge til the moment they die, theyre active alumni and they're fabulius - god bless them.

Most members gradually grow out of the "honeymoon phase" of greek life where everything is perfect and we are obsessed and pefect members not only in our own org but the greek community as a whole. Being greek doesn't phase us anymore and it's not the pinnacle of our existance. of course we still love our orgs with all of our hearts, but there is so much else going on in the world to experience!

When you get into junior and senior year, i think youre at that point. Dating exclusively greek guys was a blast for 1.5 years... but there are tons of other fabulous men out there with or without letters, and i want them all :)

(my bf is not greek)

I don't find someone more attractive just because they are in a GLO, but I find it as common factor between us. It can start up a conversation and hopefully, they will understand my committment to my sorority if something were to progress between us.

I grew out of that and stopped believing that when we were banned from school and our charter was pulled. Thats when I realized how much of a bad ass my chapter really was.

Bryan, I totally used to think like this. Ask any old skool GCer about my infamous DG stories. A DG could have some stank puzzy and I'd still think it was the bomb. Most of my exes were DGs, I loved running through the house and knowing that my name was frequently used and caused problems within that chapter. I was horrible. In fact, 3 of my exes were all in the same chapter, from the same home town and went to the same high school but were each 1 year apart. And all of them had the bomb ass. It'd be so funny when I'd be out at a club with the current and one of the others would see me out with her. Try to imagine chicks from Ft. Lauderdale Florida who are light blondes, who are drunk off their asses, skinny and all three have bitchy personalities.....it was hilarious. I remember hearing stories of when they had chapter and the drama that would go on when they were all together...lol. ;) However, you will grow out of the whole "I really like banging greek chicks over non-greeks anyday" type of mentality. As you get older it fades away, but thats not to say you wont have dreams of DGs or any other sorority girls jumping up and down on a trampoline with their letters on their boobies.....some things just never go away. :cool:

Sort of. If they were Greek here, then hell no. Anywhere else, sure!

I couldn't put it any better than you already have! :)

Fuckin sweet, love u man! Yeah, if the girls hot i'll go for her, but I like the accomplishment of getting a sorority girl and for some reason the letters are just hot...I tend to make my rounds with different sororites, i was on ZTA last year, went on to DZ, then now Sigma Kappa...If a girls in GLO or not and shes hot, then its over, but other than that why not....Oh, and i got some stories of girls in their letters, like chapter presidents, hahahahaha!

Nope. I look at who they are, not where they belong to.

I could care less.

And cashmoney is right...once the novelty of being in a GLO wears off, it becomes less of a thing. One of my cousins, right around the time she pledged, insisted that she was going to marry a Greek man. I don't think her current guy is in a fraternity. It's just about growing up, ya know?

I think for *some* it depends on how involved you are in your organization. If you are someone who plans to be an advisor, international officer, or the alumni member who is volunteering for everything in the AA, having a SO who understands that committment and dedication of being in a GLO may be beneficial.

Am I going to go up to every guy that I think is attractive and ask them, "So, what fraternity were you in? Oh, none....well, see you later!" ? I don't think so. :cool:

sorority girls are hot. Girls in letters will always look better. Yeah, that's right. I love Kendall. Vote Federalist.

At W&L, most guys just tend to be Greek (85% of them), so I've always dated Greeks. Earlier in my career here, I probably wouldn't have considered dating a non-Greek because there wouldn't be the cocktail parties, etc. Now that I'm older that's not as much of a concern...

buttttt since I'm pinned to a Pike anyway it don't really matter. :D :cool:

definately!

it also helps in other situations- the other night my friend couldn't get into any bars (she turns 21 in 1 month) and we were passing by this one place- and i saw this guy had a kappa sigma tattoo on his arm- so casually- i was like- aww your a kappa sig! i was like- those guys are so great- blah blha- he's like- oh what are you in- and i told him- i know i was just playin the game- but it got her in the bar!

yes

Guys in letters are automatically hotter :D

On my campus I'd go w/a fraternity man 99% quicker than a GDI! But then again, I can't date anyone but my Teke so I guess I'm stuck with my fraternity man ;)

Having letters, no less certain ones, wouldn't influence my attraction to someone, but as an afterthought would be an added bonus.

Don't get me wrong, there are certain fraternity letters that kind of grab my attention because of what I thought of their members here ("XYZ has the hottest guys, etc").

But I think it has a lot to do with the environment on your campus. Mizzou's system is very competitive- Kiki can back me up when I say the first question, without fail, a guy will ask you is if you're in a house, and if so, which one. Using my org to determine whether or not to talk to me is absolutely GHEY. It's been my experience here that while the greek guys have been fun to party with, as I grew up and distanced myself a little from my chapter, non-greeks were a much better fit for me.

I've only dated 4 fraternity men, and it was casual at best, so I can't really say...I like the fact that most fraternity men aren't anti-Greek and are cool with the fact that I'm in a sorority. However, it can also go the other way...because of the stories one of my exes told me and the way he acted, I look at members of his fraternity kind of differently, which I know is totally unfair but I associate his letters with him and that's...not good.

depends on the sorority.......

nah, just playing.....

but we're both greek, so there are certain things that are understood.

Sure, I like it when I have things in common with the men I date, and it's great if they can understand my values, etc...

But as for it making me more attracted to someone? No - that's pretty immature and petty, in my opinion. I am attracted to good-looking guys that I get along with... I don't care if they are Greek or not.

DItto:)

What about the Sigma Kappas??? Come on bobby, you know they're smokin hot...But yeah, sorority drama at our school is HORRIBLE!

um there is more?



ok seriously now.

um not really, though since being in college(i still am in it) i have only dated girls that have happened to be in sororities. coincedence mainly. its not like i searched for them it just happened. I have no preference either way. Ok i think i just contradicted myself somehow. AND i am rambling.

Yeah I am totally with you on this one hon. I love Mizzou, I love our competitive (if not slightly screwed up) greek system, and I love my chapter. However after 3 years of hearing "are you in a house? oh yeah, which one?" and then either getting dissed b/c my house doesn't get along with his or getting molested b/c our houses are friends with each other and he thinks it's his RIGHT b/c all Phi Mu girls love to hook up with XYZ boys. (If anyone reads my LJ they know EXACTLY what house I am talking about...muaahaha ;) ) Anyway...

A guy being greek to me really is not that huge of a deal. Sure, it's fun to run back and giggle with your sorority sisters about the totally hot guy you kissed the night before who is the PRESIDENT of DEF over on College Ave. and omg you just can't do any better than this guy. Doesn't matter if he's a total d-bag, the fact that he is president of his chapter which is strong on our campus seems to be enough for many girls I know. After my freshman year though the novelty of "frat boys" wore off more and more.

Now I am at a point where I like a guy a lot, he happens to be greek and I met him b/c our houses were paired together for greek week one year. do I like him solely b/c he's a member of XYZ? Hell no, I like him b/c of his awesome personality and beautiful blue eyes. :D

Greeks at Mizzou are just...I don't know, they're different. Some girls and guys never grow out of the phase where they are obsessed with greek life. I, along with the majority of my friends, however have gotten over it. I'm friends with who I want to be, and I date who I want. I actually prefer if the guy ISN'T in a house and if he is, I like him to be older and not as active.

You can pick freshman out anywhere though on our campus b/c the first question out of their mouths when they're trying to hit on someone is "So are you in a house?" Honestly if I had a freakin quarter for everytime I've been asked that I'd be a damn millionaire.

Wow, ok sorry I didn't mean to totally go off and rant, but I guess this topic just kind of gets me riled up and I think I am reading way too much into it haha. I am just going to go to bed now...and probably delete this post later on when I realize how crazy I sound. ;)

I love Mr. Silver; and, yes, he is SUPER CUTE in his Pi Kapp ringer t-shirt.
:D
Silver

I took a sociology class where the prof claimed that fraternities and sororities were intended to keep the better (best) students together. He also said that sororities allowed for men to choose the best of the female population.

I thought it as interesting... kinda goes along with the topic.

I got a point to make and wonder if there are any co-eds out there (Co-ed Frats of Co-ed Sororities). I am in a co-ed frat and a lot of brothers tend to marry another. It would def be a plus if I found a member of a GLO to date. It has been hard trying to explain commitments and my love for my organization to non-brothers.

My question for any of the co-ed groups. Do a lot of your members date?

Brothers marry each other??

Like I said, it is a CO-ED fraternity. So yes, we are all called brothers so when 2 people in the fraternity marry, yes brothers would be marrying brothers.

Oh heck yes! Of course I am in the same fraternity as you...but the wedding I was in last week was my little marrying another brother from Michigan Tech. :) When I joined my chapter it seems a lot of people from my chapter had dated each other. It's cool because you have one thing in common already. :)

It's nice to know that it isn't just in my Region and Section. ;)

PM me and we'll swap stories.

LFS,
Erika

Yes. And it really sucks because we've lost a few great members over break-ups.
