Well, let me see if I can sum all of this up quickly....
I think there are advantages and disadvantages to dating either. As far as dating a greek is concerned, the pros are that he might be responsible, mature, etc. On the flip side, he might have become conceited because of his 'elevated' status. A non-greek might be an escape from greekdom, but sometimes might come down very hard on greeks b/c he doesn't understand/like it.
When my boyfriend and I started out, he was greek, and I wasn't. He constantly told me how much he learned and grew as a result of joining his organization. Now that I have joined an illustrious organization myself, I am starting to see for myself what he meant. Additionally, he was encouraging and understanding when I was pledging. Above all, he was patient and knew how much time and effort goes into the whole thing. After all, he was there once. I don't know if a non-greek might have understood so well.
However, one issue I do have to deal with that I don't have to when I date non-greeks is groupies who sort of make greek guys into celebrities.
So, you see, they have their advantages and disadvantages.
