Did your HS friend go Greek?

[DeltaSigStan]

I went to a VERY liberal Performing Arts school from 4th grade up until I graduated. All my close friends either went JC or to colleges where Greek Life is small and/or the school is antigreek. I had a friend go Pi Kapp at CSUN and a friend went KA at UCR, but they both dropped out of college. Here at my school, a friend of mine from HS went into a wonderful multicultural sorority (Upsilon Kappa Delta, we're paired up with them for Greek Week) and a girl I knew in HS went Theta (also our GW partners ) but as far as I know she doesn't go here any more.

With all that, most of the people I'm still in contact with say two things: 1) They never thought I'd join a fraternity, 2) they always want to know what Greek life is like. It sucks sometimes telling them that what they see on MTV is bullshit.

So, anyway, you ever find out any of your friends from HS went Greek?

A few of my friends went Greek - quite a few ended up playing college sports, and did that instead of Greek Life. A few ended up in the Greek system though, my best friend included as he ended up a Lambda Chi.

So far I am the only on out of my HS friends to go greek....but one of my best friends was thinking about it but decided against it *maybe I can still chage his mind?* and one of my other friends is thinking about going AEPi, maybe as early as this fall. One of my best freinds from the year above me went SDT but dropped a few weeks in *it was too much for her because of school*. I am also hoping to drag a freind to an informal COB event...she has mentioned to me that if she was at an away school she would go greek but not at a commuter school...I'm trying to get her to change her mind! Everyone was shocked that I went greek.

I recently found out that my co-salutatorian from my high school joined Phi Sigma Pi (my coed honor fraternity) at her college, which is cool because now we're brothers! Still haven't seen her at any interchapter events, but it'll be fun when I do!
As for anyone else, I don't know of anyone from my graduating class who went greek. I can imagine some of them would have, but I don't keep in contact with them. None of my friends who I keep in contact with think they're the greek "type", and they were all surprised that I joined a sorority -- I'm constantly having to explain away their stereotypes of greek life. But hey, they're learning that sororities aren't those horrid things they'd always imagined them to be, so I don't really mind.

All of my friends pegged me as the Greek type (if there is one!) while we were still in high school. I was and always have been very active on campus and in the comunity - and that's the greek community in a nut shell!

About 20 of my high school friends came to Iowa with me - but only 3 others went greek! (2 Kappa Sigmas and 1 Gamma Phi Beta) All of us still talk and hang out quite a alot - so it's great

I have friends in DG, AGD, PiPhi, AXO, ATO, and SX at U of Illinois.

2 Friends in APhi at Easern Illinois.

Friends in Kappa and DG at Purdue.

Friends in APhi, FIJI at Indiana

A friend in Sigma Kappa and Chi Omega at Western Michigan

Another Chi O friend at U of Michigan and U of Colorado.

I know there's more But needless to say - I have lots of greek AND non-greek friends! And I love them all the same!

one of my best friends in high school when Theta Chi at Allegehny, and the rest either I don't know, haven't gone to college yet, or haven't gone greek.

[Senusret I]

Let's see.....

One of my good friends became an AKA two years before I became an Alpha....we were already close, but now our bond is even tighter.

Her ex-boyfriend, who was my classmate, became a KAPsi.

Another good friend, who went overseas with me once, pledged Sigma Gamma Rho at Lane College.

Our class valedictorian pledged Alpha Sigma Phi at Cornell....I sent him a gray shirt with red letters when I found out he pledged.

Two girls who graduated before me became Zeta Phi Betas (Virginia Union and Hampton), and a girl before her pledged Delta Sigma Theta at Hampton. We were all in JROTC together.

I could go on and on....we were a very greek oriented high school. It wasn't a matter of "if".....but "when".

[aephi alum]

Out of the group I hung out with in high school, I only know of one other who went greek. He joined a fraternity at Dartmouth, I'm blanking on which one. One of his brothers was a coworker of mine.

A lot of people were surprised that I went greek... someone actually said they'd thought I was too level-headed to go in for something like that

[OUlioness01]

in my graduating class I know we have:
2 Sig Ep (both at OU)
2 ATO (both at UC)
1 Phi Delt (UC)
1 Delt (Ohio Weslyan)
1 Delta Chi (Colorado State)
1 Beta (OU)
1 Phi Mu Alpha (Northwestern)
one guy at an undislosed fraternity at Bama

4 or 5 KDs (UC, Miami of Ohio, Texas A&M)
4 or 5 Kappas (UCSB, UC, BGSU)
2 Phi Mus (OU and Case Western Reserve)
1 ADPi (Miami of Ohio, but now at University of Arizona)
1 Tri-Sigma (Morehead)
1 DG (UK)

these are just the pople that posted on the alumni site....half our class never did.

[AchtungBaby80]

I knew some people in high school who went Greek--actually, there were quite a lot of them, but I wasn't really friends with them. Only two of my high school friends are Greek now...the rest either weren't interested or didn't go to college.

[KillarneyRose]

Out of my "core group" of best friends in high school (there were 8 of us), six of us went Greek:

DZ at Pitt (that's me! )
DG at Maryland
Tri-Delt at Miami of Ohio
XO at Kent State
ADII at UNC Chapel Hill
APhi at Kent State

Practically my whole graduating class went Greek. I would list all the places they went but there's way too many. It was a huge thing at my high school to go greek. Ever since my junior year high school, admittedly, I knew the reputations of all the chapters at the 3 big state schools (UCF, FSU, UF). Younger siblings will walk around in their older siblings' bid day shirts to show off what sorority/fraternity their sibling joined.
Out of my really close friends, here are the stats:
2 DDD at UCF
1 KD at UCF
3 SFE 2 at UCF, 1 at FSU
2 SAE 1 at UCF, 1 at UPenn
1 DFE at UF
1 AEF at UF
1 TEF at UF
1 KA at West Florida
1 CW at UF
2 ZTA at UCF

And, of course, I'm a ZTA.

I had 6 best friends in HS, 2 girls and 4 guys. One went DPhiE, one ChiO, one DU, and the 3 other guys did not go Greek.

[Optimist Prime]

two tri sigs here, agd, that I know of. I'm not really tight with that many people from hs. Just wasn't a friend making expeirence.
