Meet and Great

Dear Classy Cats,
First things first when you are meeting your man's frat for the first time be cool and confident. I know it can be intimidating walking into a big house full of random dudes you have never met before, but if you just stick to these simple tips you will become one of the coolest girlfriends.
  • Strike up a convo with of of the guys you are introduced to. Ask about majors, classes, sports and/or movies that have come out. If you have a brother just think about things you would talk about with him, if not don't worry chances are the guys want to get to know you as an extension of their fellow bro. 
  • Don't be a bump on a log. The guys want to be nice and get to know you, but if you don't seem interested in getting to know them it will not go far. Try to act interested (even if they are boring you to tears) a warm attitude will invite people not the cold shoulder.
  • Join in on a game they are playing. Most guys love to gather round and play a round of Super Smash Brothers, pool, corn hole or table tennis. These games are geared towards multiple players so the more the merrier. Never touched a video game or pool cue in your life? no worries, as long a s you try and seemed open to critiques you will earn major GF points. 
  • EAT some food! This isn't your grandmothers tea party, they will either have catering or a guy grilling out for every one. Don't be shy get in there and get your share, or else you may be left starving. 
  • Dress casual, again you will be hanging out with a bunch of dudes, no need for Gucci pumps or tight minis. My favorite go to pieces for cooler occasions  are dark wash skinny jeans (mine are from American Eagle), relaxed fit t-shirt (PINK or GAP are comfortable), any color cardigan (some of my favorites are from Target and Forever 21), cute scarf or necklace, and tennis shoes (I prefer my high top converse). For warmer occasions I prefer strappy sandals (mine are brown leather from Chinese Laundry), jean or khaki shorts (Old Navy ones fit me the best and are reasonably priced), t-shirt or tank, top off with your favorite jewelry and sun glasses. 
  • Meet some fellow GFs the other guys will probably invite their girlfriends over as well so you won't be the only one there without a Y chromosome.  Meeting fellow GF can ease the stress of meeting the whole frat. Plus the girls have been in the same place as you so they understand how you are feeling. 
Just remember, meeting the frat is like meeting the family. Keep these things in mind and you will be golden (or in my case silver)
xoxo,
Sarah
