Judging Greeks and the Greek life stereotype

soda · #1 07-01-2007, 09:53 PM

I just wanted to say I am impressed with you Greeks. I had the stereotypical image of Greek life....like from the movies (Nerd, Nerd 2 etc..) Apparantly, Greek life is not about partying all the time, being drunk 6-7 days a week, crazy girls like the girls gone wild advertisements...etc
Although the guys from fraternities I have talked to present fraternity life like this, I guess they're just trying to get me to join. I had the image that sorority girls were head over heels and would hook up with the fraternity guys and stuff. Now I know this is not necessarily true. I asked the question "would you date a guy that was not in a fraternity?" I was surprised to find most of you said essentially that you don't date letters...but people.

Anyway, that's pretty cool.

P.S. - I have decided I do not want to join a fraternity b/c personally a brotherhood does not appeal to me b/c I have a lot of friends.

Because he just keeps starting the same stupid thread over and over again. cheerful doesn't mean I'm always happy.

I used to be a cheerleader.

Why not join a fraternity and still hang out with your old friends? Nothing wrong with that. Fraternities are great for net working.

Is this a joke? It's probably a good thing you don't go through rush. Take care.

You had me until your P.S.
Friends /=/ Lifelong Brotherhood.

Friends are there for a time of your life; brothers or sisters are there forever. Obviously, that doesn't appeal to you, so I do think you've made the right choice.

Being a part of a fraternity or sorority is about a whole lot more than just having friends. And I don't know why some people think that you can't have a lot of friends and be in a greek letter organization or that you have to abandon your friends because you have fraternal brothers and sisters. Do those who have blood brothers and sisters not have friends also? I swear the rumors and myths surrounding greek life are baffling.
