1. Yes
2. When I was active I would say 5. It doesnt really matter now.
3. No preference
4. I would say 4 or 5 when I was active. They would be more understanding of the commitments that I had to the fraternity. Now it wouldn't really matter to me.
5. No

1. Have you dated members of GLO's during your lifetime, collegiate and post-collegiate?
No, but were I not with my boyfriend, I would consider dating members of GLO's.

2. How important is it for your significant other to understand fraternity/sorority life and its role in your life? (Please answer on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest)
4. My boyfriend is not in a fraternity, but understands that Delta Gamma means a lot to me (even though he has problems with different aspects of it, especially when he sees me get upset about different things). It's fun to be able to take him to date parties and formals.

3. Would you want to settle down (marriage, long-term) with a Greek or non-Greek?
No preference

4. Please rate on a scale of 1-5, 5 being the highest, how important it is for you to date within the Greek community.

5. Will you only date Greeks?
No

6. If you are married/engaged, is your significant other a Greek?
No

Thank you lagirl33 and PiKA2001 for your responses, and also thanks to those of you who responded to the Greek_Dating_06@yahoo.com address.

I look forward to seeing more responses and I really appreciate your help!

Why do ya'll respond (seriously) to this crap? It's probably just Alexandria Robbins doing another "undercover" investigation.

3. Would you want to settle down (marriage, long-term) with a Greek or non-Greek?

In an ideal world, I'd say Greek just because it's very hard to explain someone's strong feelings for their GLO to someone who has never experienced Greek life. However, I'm already married to a non-Greek and love him dearly. He's very supportive of my involvement with DZ.

5. Will you only date Greeks?

NO

6. If you are married/engaged, is your significant other a Greek?

No, as mentioned earlier my husband isn't Greek. At times I wish that he were, especially when my alma mater's annual Greek Alumni Weekend rolls around because so many of my DZ sisters are married to Greeks and attend their fraternity events that weekend in addition to our own sorority functions. However, I have a GREAT husband and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

One of the few times I (somewhat) agree with you. This person doesn't really seem to be greek to me... Sounds to me like someone writing an article that may or may not be positive.

Just my thoughts... Why does she care about the dating habits of greeks?



(Oh, and Alphafrog, you spelled "pessimists" wrong in your sig.)

[Sister4Life]

Thank you dzrose93 for your response.

Lindz928 and AlphaFrog, I am definitely not collecting this information for malicious purposes and I do not know who Alexandria Robbins is.

Please rest assured that I am not planning some major article or anything of the sort. This information is for my own research.

Thank you.

P.S. I am definitely Greek :-).

6. If you are married/engaged, is your significant other a Greek?

1) Yes, while in undergrad...who knows what'll happen next

2) 4-5, and will remain that high. My GLO experience is very important to me and if you can't understand that, then you don't understand me.

3)Not sure entirely how you're asking this, but all things being equal, I'd pick the woman who was a Greek. Again it goes back to understanding my involvement, which I think is easier for a Greek Member to understand.

4) Not in undergrad anymore, but was probably only a 2. the only thing was that I didn't meet that many other girls (with the exception of work) that weren't greek.

5) No, Greek membership is just part of the package.

I totally will only date guys in fraternities that are at CMU.

[irishpipes]

Oh my Gosh I've been like waiting forever for someone to ask about this! I like love talking about boys! In my sorority we have like very strict rules about this! If you like want to date some like, gel-head guido, you better, like, pledge some other sorority because we like only date certain fraternities. It is so totally hot to go to formal with like the hottest and frattiest boys on campus. And of course those boys are in fraternities. And not just ANY fraternities, but like Old Row only! I mean we like have reputations to think of here and like our parents would just die if I like went to formal with like some GDI or something.

Basically, if a boy has any kind of like upbringing he will be in a good fraternity. I mean, like why bother with the polos, croakies, and rainbows if you're like going to throw your life away by being a GDI?

Like the biggest drawback of sorority life is for sure closet space. I mean, the sorority house is like basically the same size as my like regular house, so I don't understand why like the closet space is not even close to enough. Obviously the architects were GDIs or something because like where am I supposed to put all of my things? I mean, at my like real house I have a whole closet just for my like cashmere sweaters and a whole like section for pearls. At the sorority house it is like so middle class. Not that there is like anything wrong with middle class - don't get me wrong. It is just that we like, have an image to protect. So that is like the biggest complaint I have. The good thing is that I like love my sisters so much that it is like cool with them that we sleep in the living room downstairs so our like whole room is like a boutique with all of our like beautiful clothes hanging everywhere. So you can see that being in a sorority is very worthwhile because we learned how to deal with very like complex problems.

I kind of forgot what the actual question was, but isn't this like so fun anyway? I feel like it is a rush party or something! We are really like bonding and becoming like close, don't you think? Of course at a rush party I would NEVER talk about boys! That would like be so middle class! Not that there is anything wrong with middle class - I think our housekeeper might even be middle class. Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yes - BOYS! Well, like, here at my sorority, we have like a chapter vote whenever one of the sisters is thinking of seriously like dating a boy to make sure he like, well, represents our sorority well. I mean, we are like, super-selective about the girls we allow in so we can't be too careful about the boys we let date us! I mean, what if one of our sisters has like too much to drink and starts kissing someone who is like a GDI or maybe like middle class. I mean, there are plenty of really like nice middle class people, but like really, we are so great about looking out for each other that way. That is like what sisterhood is all about!

I have to go now because one of my sisters and I have to get our nails done before they get like totally chipped. That would look SO bad for our sorority! It has been like totally fun and I hope you ask some more like really important questions! You are like super neat!

Thank you Betarulz! for your responses. :-).

If you want to be taken seriously, then give some background as to why you're doing this, for what academic institution or whatnot, etc. And as we always say to people coming here doing research for something- internet message boards are not a very valid method of research. For one, people will make up answers just to screw with you.

Aren't there a lot more worthwhile things that can be researched out there instead of something silly like greek dating habits?
