Dating within Co-ed Fraternity

[Sen's Revenge]

I agree with naraht.

As a matter of practice, keep the chapter out of your relationship business and keep your relationship out of chapter business.

I have seen too many relationships in APO crash, burn, and alienate participants because everyone took sides.

And I have seen ambitions of leadership thwarted because the chapter viewed the couple as a "package deal." If you are running for president and people don't like your partner, it could impact you.

So just keep all things separate. That advice goes for same sex couples in any organization as well as opposite sex couples in coed orgs.

It seemed like half my APO chapter was dating each other when I was an active (many, many years ago). I briefly dated a brother from another chapter, and my little married a brother from another chapter. So it's not unheard of.

THIS! I couldn't agree with this more.
