| Can someone explain this concept to me? I just heard of such a thing and to me it seems like a woman ingratiating herself to frat boys until they “pick” her to be the one to spend time with them and do them favors. I’m kind of horrified but maybe there’s something I’m missing. |
| My daughter is friends with a frat sweetheart. All of the candidates were long term girlfriends of one of the frat brothers. These girls are at every event, are friends with all the guys, and serve more of a motherly role in their frat experience than you are imagining. |
18-22 year olds serving a motherly role? Women don’t need to do this crap. |
+1 I was a frat sweetheart. I didn't take on a motherly role, but I was a longterm girlfriend and like a sister to most of the guys. |
Are you all married? |
|
Glad you asked OP! And since you asked, no one takes them seriously. They are invited to the frat events, usually reunions each 10 years or so. The guys sing a song to them, and the wives roll their eyes (to themselves) and sometimes just leave the room to speak amongst themselves.
There are less nice names for them that I will not repeat here - they were women who hung out and spent too much time at the frat house. Maybe a step above the women who joined sororities, but that is not saying much. |
+1 It's definitely not motherly, let's put it that way. |
| Are they like the Rally Girls in Friday Night Lights? 😂 |
Seriously messed up. |
Pretty bold of the wives to “roll their eyes” when they married these frat guys. The “sweethearts” were just young and it last a few years. The wives made a legal life time commitment. |
Hahaha, no. |
This made me lol. And Amen. |
Not if the Rally Girls are attractive. I know one "sweetheart" that actually followed/stalked a frat guy across country after graduation when he got transferred for a job. She literally called him up and said "guess where I moved?!" Same girl was with (yes, that kind of "with") another dude one party and well, they didn't look at each other the next day. Awkward! So, they just kind of around.......like leeches or something......... Anyway, to answer your question OP, no I would not want my daughter to be one of those because it is essentially a hanger on at a frat house. |
It is. |
OP here and this is what about what I was imagining. Baking cookies and bringing them food, helping plan their events, decorating. Things that an 18-22 year old should not be doing for men unless she’s getting paid to do it. Horrible. |
