I'm not a guy so I guess I should just stay out of this one and let the men answer, but this is a sore subject with me. Once I took my boyfriend to a party that my sorority was having with a fraternity, but it wasn't an official date party function or anything...just a regular party, so I thought it would be all right. Well, as soon as we walked in, several guys in the fraternity pounced on my boyfriend and were yelling at him, asking him why he was there. They hauled him off to the kitchen to talk to him "in private," and he had to put up with the third degree about who he was, etc. The guys made fun of his accent, and spoke to him as though he couldn't understand English (which is his native language). And on top of all that, they demanded that he PAY them for the privilege of staying at "their" party! My boyfriend paid them, of course, even though I think he should have told those guys to kiss off. Just what were they trying to accomplish? I was thorougly angry, and to this day I try and avoid going to functions with that fraternity because of the way they behaved.
