6 Reasons To Date A Fraternity Guy
Rebecca Graff

Dating a guy in a fraternity is much different than dating a regular guy. The qualities that fraternity guys have are far greater than any others.

1. Motivation and Dedication

The first thing that comes to mind that fraternity guys have is motivation and dedication. They're willing to go above and beyond for a brother. His brotherhood inspires you to put that effort into your friends. You see that he is willing to go pick up a brother who is too drunk to drive home, the dedication he puts in to his events, and the confidentiality he has to have. Fraternity boyfriends have so many secrets that are okay to have. Most boyfriends keep secrets from their girlfriends for bad reasons, but a fraternity boyfriend's secrets entail things that you'll never be able to know. They're dedicated to bettering themselves and the people around them through positivity, studies, and service.

2. Time Commitments

Fraternity guys are different because they have so many time commitments. Girlfriends have to understand that you will come second to a fraternity. Random things come up last minute for them and the plans you may have had for a week will just have to wait, but it's okay because you know that his brotherhood means so much to him.

3. Social

Fraternity boyfriends are so much more approachable altogether. You will walk around campus and they will be stopped by someone they know, time and time again. If you go to an amusement park, a big trip, or even just grocery shopping and they see someone in letters, you bet they're going to talk to them. Any event that is being put on campus, they're either going to be there, or you will be recognized as "so-and-so's" girlfriend.

4. Third Wheeling

Either you're the third wheel when he's meeting with his brothers or one of his brothers are the third wheel. Throughout these dates, you will become closer with his brothers and they will begin to feel like your own.

5. Secrets

Fraternity boyfriends know how to keep secrets. They have secrets that bind their chapters together that they can't disclose to anyone else and they're willing to keep your secrets, too. You can trust them with almost anything because anything you say to them is comparable to going into a lock box.

6. Service

The men that have joined their fraternity have dedicated themselves to service. Not only does this mean service to the community, it also makes them such selfless men. If you ask them to do anything as a boyfriend, or even friend, they will do it. Don't take advantage of their selflessness, they're such wonderful men.

Dating someone that's in a fraternity sounds like they're going to party all the time or be "too much work" at first, but after realizing all their amazing qualities and who they truly are, you'll see that they're so much more than that. There is no shame in dating someone who isn't a fraternity, those men may have these qualities too. But the men who have joined an organization and have dedicated themselves to something that means so much to them...that will shine through your relationship.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
