Would you date a guy that was not in a fraternity?

Many of you girls seem pretty nice and not so superficial...and just want to date a guy who respects you etc...which I like.

But many of you said "Well it's easier to date a Greek b/c of the time commitment etc etc"

What time commitment? The fraternities at my school don't do much beyond partying and drinking (3rd biggest party school in the nation).

Time commitments (study hours, philanthropy, intramural sports, campus activities, meetings, etc.) vary chapter to chapter and campus to campus. It might be best if you ask the chapter directly what the time commitments are if you are interested in rushing that chapter. They should be able to give you details.

They claim it's oh so easy to get girls but it seems as though they are lying b/c I never see it.

If you feel they are lying, (which they might be), then perhaps it would be best for you to look elsewhere.

I know the sororities raise money and stuff but the fraternernities raise like 250 bucks if even that...

It seems as if Greek life is more than partying (sometimes 3 times a week at my school) and drinking yet the frats have not told me anything beyond this nor do they do much else...

If you are interested in a specific chapter, you should ask them what they do in addition to partying.

ive heard Greeks get good grades and do well in school etc... but all the Greeks I've talked to include GPA's of 0.7, 1.7, 1.2, and 2.3.

You are correct. Greeks do get good grades. However, those that do poorly can be put on academic suspension and/or made inactive. Or perhaps asked to leave the fraternity. The same applies with the university. Academic probation or expulsion from the school.

So...What's up?? Isn't Greek life supposed to be about partying, not remembering the last time you were sober (like 1 guy i talked to), and getting girls (or atleast lying about it).

Greek life is about a lot of things. I would guess that there are chapters on your campus that do not fit the stereotypes you have written about. As such, you might want to do more research on the chapters on your campus. And ask different people (Greeks and non Greeks) about the chapters and find one that best fits you. It may be that all the chapters aren't what you want. If that is the case, then you might want to check into other organizations on your campus.

Best of luck.
