Does your spouse/partner/boyfriend come to Sorority functions with you?

[AKA_Monet]

A former Directorate member brings her husband to ALL the public functions... They call him "Mr. AKA" and he relishes and enjoys coming to the functions...

My dad would be hurt if my Soror Mom did not let him come to the public functions. He loves those formals and "chicken dinners".

Now my husband, he has a tolerance level, and once it's exceeded, he cannot be pushed out the door in any formal attire. It's gotten to the point where he asks who is going to be there. He is not greek.

I'm not AKA, but no. The boyfriends have never attended functions. Part of it was their not feeling it (more the college boyf than later ones), plus, as I got older, most of our alumnae events skewed towards "girls night out" sort of things where SOs weren't really welcome.

My sister, however, who is AKA, hasn't really had a SO who was comfortable, so to speak, in the BGLO environment. I'm sure the guys attended, but I'm also sure they stuck out like sore thumbs.

I love seeing older greek couples at our formal events and other formal greek events. I think it is cute when the husband wears a suit matching the sorority colors and / or has a nice tie in the sorority's colors with a dark suit.

My dad is a Kappa who dates an AKA and they both attend each other's events. It's very cute. They were in undergrad together and know all of the same people so it's fun for them.

As for me, I haven't yet brought dates to any of our public events but I wouldn't rule it out. I think it also really depends on the guy and how comfortable he is in that kind of setting and whether he can socialize on his own.
