For those in Greek life across the country, formal (or semi-formal) season is upon us. For those lucky enough to have a significant other, they don't have to agonize who to take. Those of us living the single life however, have some decisions to make. That got me thinking... What would happen if someone took America's favorite ogre to formal? Here's a few things to expect if you took Shrek to your next formal event.

1. He would expand your palate.

Shrek definitely knows how to eat. He also isn't the type of guy to stick to a burger and fries. You can bet that if he was your formal date, he would take you to some adventurous restaurant beforehand.

2. No one would mess with you.

Not that there should be anyone messing with you at formal, but no one would mess with Shrek, so, therefore, no one would mess with you. It's a win-win.

3. Him and his wingman would be the funniest guys in your group.

You'll be entertained all night! No more sitting in semi-silence

4. He wouldn’t judge the weird things you and your friends do.

Shrek knows weird. Shrek embraces weird. You wouldn't have to be worried about how he would respond if

5. You two would tear up the dance floor.

Dance like nobody's watching is Shrek's motto, and you can bet as soon as the lights go down and "Uptown Funk" starts playing, you two will be rocking your cheesiest moves.

6. He would carry you when your feet hurt.

Heels are no joke, and after a couple hours of taking pictures and dancing, you aren't going to want to actually walk to your car. Shrek would have no problem picking you up.

7. Through his tough exterior, he would care about your feelings.

Shrek is one caring ogre. He would notice if you were feeling down because of a fight with a friend or getting a bad grade. He wouldn't ignore it like most guys. Instead he would talk to you and try to make you feel better.

8. You would learn so much about him because he has layers.

Don't judge him by his plaid pants and stained tunic! So what if some guys don't know how to dress... or have green ears. Behind his rough exterior, you'll find that he has a heart of gold.

9. He would always treat you like a princess.

Honestly, at formal you want to be treated like the special gal you are. He'll be a gentleman, but still be insanely funny and real. That's exactly what you want!

10. At the end of the night, you’ll want to take him to every date function.

Your friends will have given him the stamp of approval, and you will all have a blast together. He'll know your awesome sisters, and now whenever you have a date function, you'll know exactly who to call. With Shrek, you'll never want formal to be ogre.
