This football season, I have felt the wrath of being a single girl in the greek community. By single, I am implying that I am not just some frat daddy’s slampiece (thank you, TFM), but I am, in fact, truly single. I am so single that I have yet to be asked to a football game. Normally this would not bother me, but with student organization seating being so restrictive this year, I have personally felt shunned.

Maybe I am not the cutest girl around. However, I do have a great personality, and I am actually fun to be with. While these are my personal opinions, it seems that no boys share these thoughts. So where does this leave me? Single—and I mean dateless—on game days.

Many of you may not understand how it feels to be single and excluded on game days. Perhaps you sit in the student seating section. Perhaps you have a boyfriend in a fraternity. Perhaps you are just cool enough to get asked to a game. Or perhaps you are a member of a fraternity and you have reserved seats.

For the sorority members who seem to be unable to get game dates, seating is a huge problem. If you are lucky enough to score a wristband to a fraternity section, good for you. I admire your charm.

I have not been so blessed, though. Instead, I find myself pondering where I am going to sit for games and worrying if I am going to be asked to leave a section because I am not “with anyone.” The polite Southern gentleman stereotype does not seem to be in effect on these sacred game days.

If greek student organization seating is going to continue be so exclusive, and if it’s still going to remain greek, I must find some way to enjoy the football games as a part of it. Student organization seating (aside from the Honors College Assembly section) is becoming more and more sexist.

Males are entitled to sit in a certain section with the pretty girl of their choice. However, I am just as good as the majority of these fraternity members, and I pay my dues just as they do. I deserve to be able to view the game from the exact same place that they see it.

You might think that this is just a rant about being single. That is far from the truth.  I am actually ranting about the way student organization seating works. If fraternities are going to continue to leave certain greek girls out just because they are date-less, then I propose sororities apply to have their own sections. We deserve to be able to comfortably watch the game in the student organization section just as much as any male does.

I am hoping to see a change in the way that student organization seating works. It is not fair to leave some of us out of it just because we don’t have game dates. Date-less sorority members unite, and let’s find a way to enjoy the games as much as our dated counterparts do.
