Hi guys!!

Thanks so much for your replies I'm really sorry that I have not repled in so long! I have been bogged down lately by tons of exams, papers, and my job Luckily (or maybe not LOL) I've been a bit sick lately so I can stay home and rest...away from all the chaos!

Actually, I just recently broke up with the guy because he just could not understand why I devote much of my time to Theta. I brought him around to meet my sisters...but he showed a cold, hard exterior to them which was totally unknown and new to me...one that, through five years of knowing him i never ever saw!! The bad part is that me and him used to be really good friends...and I guess, after this experience with him...i have discoverd that I never really truly knew him. However, I am happy taht I did not get too serious w/him...before it was too late! My Theta sisters were extremely shocked at how unresponding and cold-hearted he was acting...and unfortunately I could not explain any of his actions!

On the good side though, I have now started to casually see a Pike--who is also a good friend of mine...and I love all the Pikes at my school, just great guys in general! And he is very understanding of my sorority duties. He is also very active in Pi Kappa Alpha, and it is a mutual understanding between us that sorority/fraternity needs are essential, even more so than a relationship (for now at least!). However, I have been very happy seeing him although it isn’t exclusive as of now.

OohTeeny, I'm sure that you are very proud of your bf! Also, the saying is true about how distance "makes the heart fonder." I remember how I used to have a long-dist bf...it was great! Whenever we visited each other (he lived about 6 hours away, near my uncle's house)...it was just thrilling and just totally romantic LOL... Thanks so much for your sweet advice!!

TriSigmaChic, you better hold on to this guy! What a sweetie I hope that when I date a non-Greek again taht I will be fortunate enough to have an understanding MAN (not boy ) like that!

Hehehee, 33girl, my now-ex is also a letter-writer to the newspapers Unfortunately, he just hid against this powerful, biting facade when he met my sisters...it was unbelievably scary, and I was just really disappointed in him! He obviously is not telling me the whole story about his hate for Greeks??

FIUGreekSiS, thanks for your advice! Yeah I know 24 hours a day isn't enough! But what has really helped me is to get a planner, and plan your whole day. It is extremly tedious, I have to admit--but it is so worth it in the end!! As for your boyfriend, I am glad that he is so supportive of you! Maybe also invite him to your social functions--that way you can take part in the sorority event and also are able to see him and hang out w/him simultaneously!

James,LOL I always use that line “If you cared about me…” I will definitely stop now…yes, I am very sinister…I actually like to use that guilt-trip sometimes Unfortunately, He had a big problem with the idea of Greeks in general...not just the word (see above of post). Also, it's really frustrating because I can't get down to teh root of his extreme dislike. And yes I do love men even though you guys are just so darned-confusing and sometimes immature! Thank goodness that I am now dating a Pike who understnads me totally
