Having a gf while in fraternity bad idea?

This fall semester i am going to be living in the frat house. And I am single at the moment but my ex gf is thinking of getting back together. Idk if i entirely want to though. Yes i still like her and she likes me. But I am afraid that if i date her again I am going to miss out on all the fun with all the other girls. At socials and other parties i wont be able to hit on the other girls obviously because I would have a gf and i feel like i would be tempted. I dont want to look back and have a regret that I had a gf while in college. I can honestly say that I want to be single at some point during college which means that we would eventuallyy break up so whats the point right?

So is it a bad idea to have a gf while in a frat? Are there ways around it? Should i give it another try and if worse comes to worse we break up again...

It's simple. You want to play the field. Do it.

So, basically what you want is an arrangement where you guys can hook up when you're horny?

Put it to her that way, and she may be into it. BUT it goes both ways. There's going to be nights when you call her up and the phone keeps ringing because she has found a way better option than you. You don't get to be mad if she doesn't.

It sounds to me like you're just looking for an excuse to not get back together with your girlfriend. If you're disappointed that you are not going to be able to date other girls, then you are not in a place to be in a committed relationship. That has nothing to do with whether or not fraternity men have girlfriends in college. By the way, they do. Probably in the same percentages as non-Greeks.

And I know this site is more or less anonymous, but you want to be more careful about how you say things. This post, although I think I get what you're saying, is pretty much making you look like a pig.
