[AOII Angel]

As Dr. Phil says, "The Devil doesn't need an advocate."

I guess you didn't read Dr. Phil's post (the second post in the thread):

Nobody said it wasn't happening. What was said is that it can be superficial when it happens.

What do you mean devil's advocate is never a liked position, or that you're not necessarily saying you approve?

I have a feeling you don't know what it means to be devil's advocate.

someone that takes a position he or she does not always agree with, just for the argument.

I know what I mean. Don't hate.

Close. Someone who argues a position he doesn't agree with as a means of testing the soundness of and identifying weaknesses in the original argument. (Unless one wants to be literal about it, in which case it's a canon lawyer who argues against canonization of a saint. Or, for a nod to pop culture, a movie with Al Pacino and Keanu Reeves.)

Not hating. Don't assume disagreement means hate, and don't assume hate where none is expressed.

Listen. I am not trying to get off on the wrong foot. I just feel that you all act like it's not happening, but it is. There are two sides to every coin. I just felt like one side of the argument wasn't being shown. Is that such a bad thing?

That's not what you did. Instead of saying "Some stay together, some don't," you essentially said "she will be tested by fraternity brothers and he will inevitably dump her."

You said it as if it was dogma.

Well, not every thread can include Geraldo's nose being punched into pieces.

LMAO.

I'm only posting this because I'm sick of collegians coming here and giving us all a bad name.

From a female perspective, I don't think there's any reason why "having less of an understanding of the significance of ritual blah blah whatever" should impact a relationship between two adults.

Then again, I can't prove that anyone in the OP's situation is actually an "adult."

If a guy doesn't want to date one of my awesome unaffiliated friends just because she isn't Greek, he's missing out, big-time.

If a guy only wants to date me because I have letters, he's an idiot. I'm sorry, but he is. And he's probably not worth my time, either.

I'm from a school that is 75% guys. We don't really put much stock in GDI, if you can gets chick (like my boy did me) her being Greek doesn't make a dang bit of difference.

Why can't THIS thread be deleted?
