<strong>Subject:</strong><br />date parties and boyfriends<br /><br /> Poster Message:
I've been with my current boyfriend since the end of 10th grade, and he left at the end of June for college, while I am attending UA this fall. Being apart is much harder than you imagine when you are together all the time in high school, and it's made worse by the fact that his college life is such that we currently don't get to talk a lot. When we do, he's super worried about me joining a sorority.. He actually tried to talk me out of it, but it's something I really want to do, and he's accepted that much, at least. My question is, how hard is it to be in a sorority when your boyfriend is halfway across the country? He doesn't think that there is any reason that I should be going to Swaps and stuff like that, but that's kind of part of the bonding process with your sisters, right? I understand I won't get to go to Date Parties, but what about formals? Do people go without a date? He gets very little time off, and probably won't ever get to come out here for one. I guess I'm wondering if he's right, and I'll either find sorority life a waste, even though I've been wanting to do it for a while now, since there are parts I just won't get to take part in, or if he is also right that me joining one will likely ruin our relationship?
