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.
