I grew up with reformed "hippie" parents, quite literally, and this whole conformity thing is something that I'm not very good at. I love John (my boyfriend) with all my heart, and I understand and respect that Sig will take up a lot of his time. But it does feel like he chooses his house over me.

Do you have any advice as to how to better deal with this? I don't want to lose him, but I don't like being put on the back burner either.
Make sure that you are not subconsciously giving off the attitude of "frats are stupid horrible conformist people." If you are, more than likely people will ramp up their behavior just to irk you.

Forget about the fact that they wear Greek letter sweatshirts and get to know them as PEOPLE.
