If you are teamed up with a group during an activity(Homecoming, Greek Week, Step Sing, etc), it is extremely rude of you to talk about all the things you do with another group of the same gender as your teammates. If you are in Omega Chi Delta fraternity, teamed up with Gamma Psi sorority, do not spend a lot of time talking about how much fun you have hanging out with Zeta Beta Zeta sorority. Likewise, Gamma Psi members should not be telling Omega Chi members all about how they love hanging out at the Kappa Tau Gamma fraternity house.
It's rude to the members of the group you are teamed with. Plain and simple.
It's one thing if the other org comes up in natural conversation: "Yeah, we had a drop in at the KT house last Wednesday. What about y'all?" "Oh, the ZBZs came over for a pledge swap that night." or, "You're an engineering major? So's my boyfriend. Do you know Rusty? He's a KT." "Oh, yeah, he's cool. Isn't his sister president of the ZBZs?"
But, to stand in front of members of other groups and talk about how you wish you were at another house? Rude.
You might be teamed with the "lowest tier" chapter on campus. Guess what, especially among fraternities that seem to ebb and flow on the popularity scale, that chapter may end up being one of the most popular in a few years and the members may have long memories.

I love you for the Greek reference. As long as no one mixes with IKI, we're cool.
