OK... I'm not saying this is necessarily true so much anymore, but I think part of this has to do with the fact that back in the day a woman was only as good as the man she attracted... women couldn't really do anything for themselves (vote, sign a contract, own land, etc) so the man you attracted pretty much determined your life.... I think this attitude is kinda left over from that ...plus we're constantly receiving media messages that being single isn't the way to be and if you are (single) there is probably something wrong with you. Now I was only a psychology major for about a year until I changed...and I'm sure there are many other factors... but I think these definitely have an impact.
Back to the *real* question in the thread.. HOneymoon... I pretty much agree with Sugar and Spice... it really depends on the chapter, school etc... as long as you keep a healthy attitude about food and exercise you should be fine, maybe you can even be one of those people who help to "drag people up" if there is someone with a problem.
