Being a frat groupie is something that people always see as a negative. Instantly, when people hear the phrase "Frat Groupie" they think of some girl that makes her rounds from pledge class to pledge class. I'm going to be the first one to openly admit this, but I am a frat groupie. I know what you all are thinking, but being a frat groupie doesn't necessarily mean you sleep around with an entire fraternity. I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is much more that goes into it. Honestly, being a frat groupie is kind of like being in a sorority, but you didn't go through recruitment to find this home.

Think of it like this: you head into a party one night and generally you like the people you meet. They seem cool and nice, but let's face it they're frat guys. Regardless, you continue to come back weekend after weekend. You dance together, you take shots together, and at this point you have a whole new set of guy friends. Then everything changes. You start hanging out with them during the day and you start to learn more about their personal lives. They start being there for you and you start being there for them. No longer do you see them as just typical frat guys, but some of your closest friends.

These boys quickly become your family. You can vent to them about sorority life, personal problems, and even sometimes relationship problems. I'm not saying by any means, to be best friends with every single member of a fraternity, but it is nice to know that there is a group of men that is constantly looking out for you. Men that will be there for you when you need to be saved from that creep at the bar, and even men who will be willing to offer you a place to stay (platonically).

So before you are quick to judge the "Frat Groupie" who is always at the chapter house just know this: She is not trying to sleep with anyone. She is not trying to steal your man. She is not even trying to be the sweetheart. She is, however, trying to spend time with the fraternity boys who quickly became her brothers.
