  • Were you?

    I hesitate to ask this question because it just sounds so..."dawktor's" wife-y, but I'm curious.

    Were you Greek in college? If so, what?

    I was Alpha Gamma Delta at U. of KY.

    Nope but a lot of my roomies were Alpha Phi. (I think). And it drove me crazy that they never said Phi correctly.

      No.

      Never even considered it.

        Same here. All the Russian kids were too cool to be Greeks.

          No. And I point and laugh in your general direction.

          I was an editor on the paper--eventually editor-in-chief--and that was plenty. Whew, those were some days. (O, the germination of my illustrious publising career, I wax nostalgic for you.)

            I was a wife and mother in college. It is not something, I think, that a lot of sororities look for in a pledge.

            I never considered it.

                I was in a fraternity. Alpha Delta Phi. Co-ed housing in a brownstone in NYC. Great people. Of course, our "organization" and several other founding chapters were thrown out of the national fraternity organization while I was in college for the abomination of allowing both genders as members. We are now a "society" of 5 or 6 on campus groups in the country. All co-ed. I don't know if that counts as Greek or not. It was a very un-Greek environment.

                  Nope, DH and I weren't but my BIL was. My DH and I lived in a great system of halls that ran a lot like the greek system but weren't.

                    What college was that? Just curious. The only university that I know of that outright bans frats and sororities on campus is BYU. Interesting if there are others out there....

                          Nope!

                            Nope- at a college of 1200 people including the grad students, I didn't think there was a reason to segregate myself further! However, everyone that I know that went to the big state schools all joined- my brother (SAE at Maryland), my Bestest Friend (Kappa Alpha Theta at Virginia Tech), both my my parents (Delta Sigma Theta and Delta Delta Delta), and my uncle (Sigma Chi).

                            My husband was 27 when he finished his last two years at a state school and had no reason to join. Actually, I'm not even sure they had a Greek system at his campus (UCSB).

                              No. I went to a small private liberal arts college, and the majority of the students were in a fraternity/sorority, but I had no interest......my feeling was that I had enough sisters already and I was ready to be by myself a little bit!
