Why don't you just ask him?
This post sounds like a made-for-TV movie plot.

Actually, I've heard of both PiKA and Sigma Chi having Dream Girl/Sweetheart competitions. The chapters' selections would compete against the other chapters in the district, then state, then regional, then the US. IIRC, in the retro photo thread, there's even a picture of the national Sweetheart of Sigma Chi - I do know that Joan Kennedy was one.

Sorry - Urban myth. Joan Kennedy might have been a chapter Sweetheart, but was never a national Sweetheart.

Hmmm... it's a very oft-told urban legend then, because I was able to find at least six references to it via google, without really even trying. A woman named Dot Grover from Syracuse seems to have been the epitome of the "national Sweetheart of Sigma Chi". Another woman is named Mary Jane Walker, from Michigan State.
Maybe it's a very old tradition? I don't remember hearing much about it at my school. but I do remember seeing candidates in the Adelphean.
ETA: International Sweetheart from 2005.
And from GreekChat!

No, I'm not saying that there is no International Sweetheart. I have met several over the years.
I was saying that Joan Kennedy was never an International Sweetheart.

I'm confused. Are you asking about how it might work now or how it worked 25+ years ago?
And if it happened 25+ years ago, why do you care?

How would the girl in OP's story not know if she had been duped? When she went out of town with the Theta Chi, there was either a dream girl competition or not once they got there. Or is she wondering if the Theta Chi staged a fake competition just to take her out of town? Who does that?

A very horny and desperate Theta Chi, apparently.
