Dating a Greek??? Heck, I married her!
I met my wife (Kappa Alpha Theta - Gamma Omega chapter) while I was a freshman (and still a GDI) at Auburn through one of her pledge sisters. I later pledged AKL my sophmore year. I think that it really makes a difference in a relationship if both individuals are Greek or if just one is a brother/sister, or especially a pledge. As someone on GC points out; Greek Life - from the outside looking in you can never understand it, from the inside looking you can never explain it. I saw so many problems in couples where one individual just did not understand why the Greek
had to be at chapter, a philantrophy event or at a social, etc... a ready point of conflict. Not that it can't work, like I noted, I was still an independent when we started dating but both my parents were Greeks and I had a good background on the idea of a sorority at least so it wasn't that much of a problem. It made a real difference when I was pledging, I can't imagine too many independents that would have been as supportive and understanding of the process as she was. Now we just have to get to work on providing legacy PNMs for Theta and AKL in roughly 2020.
It's Great to be Greek!
