When I first started dating my boyfriend, who just recently became my fiance', he was a non-greek, however, not long after we got together he decided to join a fraternity. Before he joined he never really gave me too much greif about my being in a sorority except that he didn't understand all the secretive stuff. He always used to say it was so stupid cause I couldn't tell him stuff about initiation and ceremony's and stuff like that. However when he finally did join theta chi he appologized for giving me such a hard time because he finally understood. I think maybe the only difference between greek men and non-greek men is the fact that non-greek men don't understand what all this greek stuff is about. And I know I have also been told that greek girls are different than non-greek girls. When my fiance' and I first got together he said he was afraid to date me because he has heard about sorority girls. He said he knew how we are about guys..such as when one guy screws a greek girl over, her whole sorority hates him for the most part. Things like that don't happen when you are non-greek. My personal opinion however is that there should be differences between greeks and non-greeks. Because we are a part of a greek organization it does set us apart from those who aren't. It's not that we are trying to disaffiliate with those who aren't greek it's just that we have something extra to bring those of us who are greek a little closer together.
