Re: Married to a GLO or Independant?

VERY good idea for a thread!!

1) Is your husband/boyfriend a member of a GLO?
a) My ex was not, but he told our friends that he was (without my knowing!). He had gone through some of my college year books & scrapbooks, and figured out enough to be a poser.
b) No, my fiance went to a school without GLOs.

2) If yes, which one? and is he active as an alumni/brother?
a) He pretended that he was a Pika, as I had more about them. (gee, wonder why?).
b) n/a.

3) If no, does he respect your greek affiliation/involvement?
a) Yes, in public, but not in private. He didn't mind me going to meetings, etc, but when I was making something at home for our philanthropy, he hit the roof.
b) It's hard to say. Deep down inside, I don't think he understands it, not having known any other greeks well. He thinks it's all Animal House and Susie Sorority. We've talked quite a bit about it, but I think it's going to take him actually seeing me interact with a bunch of sisters for him to realize how deep the bond is - which is why I'm insisting that he goes to a sister's wedding with me this summer! He was impressed by the various philanthropies and grants to help each other, though.

4) or if you are still active as an alumna what does he think about it?
a) Same answer as above.
b) He see my involvement the same way that he would see me as a member of, oh, say the Junior League, a Ladies Auxilary or such - again, he doesn't see the bond. Yet.


Good thread topic!!

Edited to add: there were no GLOs at my fiance's college.
