Caitie-
I am an alum many years out of school, so my thoughts may be totally dated. I do remember a few things about being in college though ;-)
Yes... there is the possibility that sleeping overnight in a fraternity house could hurt your reputation. And your reputation will certainly be considered if/when you decide to participate in rush.
You have been dating your boyfriend what, 6 weeks? You just haven't had time to get to really know him very well yet. Yes, I know you think that you do!! Humor me for a minute....
Let's consider a couple of scenarios. Maybe he is "The One" and you marry & live happily ever after. What are the chances?? Kinda hard to tell at this point.
Scenario Two... he turns out not to be Prince Charming and you have an ugly break up in another month or so. At that point, he may decide that this was never the relationship that he thought it was. Maybe he starts joking around with his buddies and starts saying not very nice things about you. He jokes that he was just looking for a lovely piece of whatever to occupy his bed. We all know that it happens :-(
All of a sudden, your nights at the frat house are not portrayed as the relationship it was at the time. Now you become his "hookup of the week". The truth will be long forgotten.
Now you become nothing more than an easy, cheapie girl who "sure can be a lot of fun", he says with a wink. And that's the reputation that is remembered, the one that you take into Rush with you. Sure, some of the girls might know the truth. A lot of them won't.
Sigh. Life is so complicated.
