I wouldn't necessarily say "ruin" but it may be harder to meet girls who aren't snobby about things like this. Obviously you see someone above has an opinion and unfortunately that's the way some girls do feel towards men in off campus frats. However, there are still a lot of girls who don't care. I'd say that Old Row girls tend to stay away from men in off campus frats and honestly sometimes Jefferson as a whole. And it seems that New Row girls tend to be more open minded. However, I do know AXO's and ZTA's dating men in off campus frats... So your social/dating life isn't necessarily completely cut off, it'll just be harder. I'm in a NR house and I actually went to a Nola formal with a guy in an off campus frat and I can honestly say that he was one of the nicest guys I've met in Greek life and his friends were also very nice people. Every girl will have her preferences though, and honestly every girl would ideally want to date a DKE or Sigma Chi or something. But that's just something you'll have to understand moving forward. I think an off campus frat will be a good choice for you if you understand about the various aspects of Greek life you will be missing out on. And if you're okay with that then I say go for it. The guys I've talked to in off campus frats about why they chose an off campus frat say that they chose it because they felt the guys were more genuine... And mind you these are also guys who were legacies at very prestigious houses on campus. And overall, I would agree that men in off campus frats tend to be nicer and more sincere. I'd suggest rushing both on campus and off campus frats when school starts, get a feel for both of them and then decide. You'll probably find some other guys who are in your same shoes.
