I would not want to be invited somewhere because someone felt bad for me. |

| Icky. |
I would rather eat glass than go to my husband’s fraternity reunion. |
Depends on the frat. In some situations, the wives barely knew the husbands were in a frat, but are still expected to attend. I suppose being a sweetheart at a frat reunion is far worse than being a wife at the frat reunion. Do all frats have sweethearts? |

It is tradition for the frat brothers to sing the sweetheart song to the bride at weddings.
Awkward. |
| Is this a southern school? |
| This all sounds terrible but thanks for sharing-it’s fascinating! |
You can expect me to ngaf what is “expected” of me by my husband’s fraternity. |
| I was a sweetheart for a fraternity (and in a sorority). It’s meaningless. It just means you hang out there a lot. I did nothing for them (lol at motherly and cooking). They are not picking motherly girls, but girls who like to party. I didn’t even date anyone there (1 guy a year after I was made sweetheart and it didn’t last long). Never dated or hooked up with any others. This was in VA though. I don’t know what happens at these hardcore sororities down south where Greek life is a whole different thing than VA. |

| Frat Sweetheart here. I have never attended a frat reunion. I am unaware of any former sweethearts or little sisters who attend who didn't marry the frat brother. |
Really? That is the exact opposite of the sweethearts who I know. Not one of them married anyone from the frat, or any frat. |
| They get “passed around.” A lot. |
| I was a “little sister” at a frat. And I wasn’t in a sorority. But “my big brother” literally was like my big brother. And I never dated him or anyone else at his frat. I think I reminded him of his real little sister. I could go to his frat to study, go to parties/dance, drink and hang out. And while at Tim’s frat/house, nothing ever happened to me. Never hassled, touched, followed, etc because all the guys knew I was Tim’s little sister. And there were some frats at my big 10 school, I would cross the street to stay far away from even in broad daylight. |
