Ladies thank you!!! You defenitly gave some reassurance, and if my girlfriend has any concerns about I will be prepared. (the being able to get away
and being president w/o living in
very helpful)
However, in clarification (and perhaps the advice I was really looking for, I'll explain more in depth) I think that the cause of her concern and confusion may actually have been me. Her parents originally had a bad impression of greeks, and through some persuasion (and some facts from me, and seeing how much I fun was having during open rush) she was able to persuade them that this was beneficial. Of course she used things like grades and sorority ladies having better GPA's, as well as things like philanthropy, and getting the most out of college. However I think she began wondering the advantages when she realized that the house wouldn't have set study hours to make her study (as it is in many Frats) and all the things she had used with her parents wouldn't necessarily apply when not actually in the house (especially GPA).
So I don't think that she is worried about not getting in the house, but she may be worried about the fact that the houses influence will be lessened if she's not living there.
