What pet peeves do you have with one another? OCD (LOL), just kidding I need that OCD to balance my organized chaos

What is your ideal date? Something fun, but not too adventurous, like golf, (someone is not the risk taker LOL) home cooked meal; you could also add a Boyz II Men concert in there too.

Do you feel that you could have obtained the level of happiness you have by dating a non-Greek? No, there is a level of understanding to the commitment that being a part of a BGLO. Plus Krimson and Cream look so good together LOL. But truly, our happiness transcends our Greek affiliations.

What are the benefits of dating someone in a Greek organization? They have an understanding for the commitment to the organization. They are able to understand all the many meetings/event that greek organizations sponsor.
