I have been dating a Greek man since November 2000. Our relationship is actually pretty good. When I first became a member of Phi Sigma Sigma, my then-boyfriend didn't understand why I couldn't tell him certain things and why I always had something to do. He didn't understand the concept of socials and he didn't take any initiative to learn anything about the Greek system. We broke up because we were heading in different directions in life.
Then I met my current boyfriend. We actually met at a social and things progressed from there. We both understand that some things come first with our organizations and that we can't get upset over them. I understand that he needs his time with his boys and he understands my time with my girls. He has been very supportive of my decision to become an advisor for a chapter of Phi Sigma Sigma.
In addition, I have become very close with many of his brothers. I feel like I have 25 brothers of my own when I am with them. Likewise, he has become close with a few of my sisters. We all have wonderful times together and everyone gets along. I know this would not have happened with my ex-boyfriend.
I am very thankful for my boyfriend. He knows all about candle passes and how important that moment will be for me. I hope to create little legacies one day with him!
