I am greek, and was dating a non-greek for several monthes before I pledged. We dated for two and a half years after I pledged, too. Although we never had any problems b/c I was Greek and he was independant, he also never really understood why my sorority is so important to me. . . he just couldn't comprehend it. He claims to be in awe of my attachment to greek life, and plans to transfer to my university and rush a fraternity in the fall.
I am now dating a greek guy from my university, and it is definitely different. He understands that my sorority is a priority for me, and he never bugs me about all the time I put into it. . . I know a lot of the other women in my chapter agree that for those of us who are really involved, dating a guy who is really involved in his fraternity is nice, because although you don't share your letters or your ritual, etc. you do share the fact that you have them, etc. Similar interests & values. . . etc.
