To be honest it's pretty obvious you don't yet understand what the system is all about and see this as a potential opportunity to get laid a lot, drunk a lot, and maybe get a cushy job. I've see a thousand guys like you, and as a Vice President I realize that at this point in your life you'd be nothing but trouble and dead weight in the house.

I hope you get a chance to better re-examine your priorities and the greek community. Maybe one day it will be a match for you....just not yet.
That's a pretty bold statement, unless you know what campus he is on and a lot about the fraternity culture there. Remember, when potential members think stuff like this, it is often true.

There's nothing bold about calling a guy out who seems only interested on using a fraternity to meet his sexual needs.

I'm suprised more people aren't offended by this nonsense

I think what also happens is that people are more likely to date within a smaller community (i.e. the Greek system) than outside of it. The same goes for people who are very into their religion, certain hobbies, etc. Familiarity breeds attraction.

I agree with the statement about dating Greeks because they understand the commitment involved. I dated non-greeks and they had no clue what it was all about, and it caused a lot of fight.

Just be yourself and you will find someone who is interested in the same things you are.

Not anymore

When I was still collegiate, I used to think that all I wanted to date were fraternity guys (for reasons mentioned above, the smaller community aspect of greek life, they understand the huge commitment, etc.) but as soon as I became an Alum it all ceased to matter. Then I married a G.D.I. Though my husband doesn't always understand 100% of the time (when alum meetings run late, my obsession with strawberries,) he is still very supportive of my involvement.

Totally of topic but my last bf, who isn't greek, was obsessed with strawberries...I told him he should date a ZTA and he just looked at me like I was crazy, lol.

As for me, I have no problems dating a non-Greek.

I know plenty of sorority girls who would only date non-greek guys. It really depends on the caliber of what's out there at your school.

If the chapters on his campus advertise themselves as being all about girls and drinking, you can't fault him for thinking that a fraternity is all about girls and drinking. Heck, if the chapters on his campus are all about girls and drinking, you can't fault him for rushing to meet girls and drink.

It's great that you hold yourself to higher ideals, but we all know that every organization has a chapters that do not.

yes, once you join you are only allowed to date other greeks. greek life has that much control over your life. i cant eat sleep or get dressed with out the go ahead from my fraternity.

greeks date other greeks bc of their availability and constant exposure to each other. its like you when you see that one girl at work everyday and you start to like each other. except you see that one girl at Greek Life events. but if you're a good person you'll date a person based on their worth and not solely based on whether they're apart of an organization.

you're a dummy
