It's because it was common in the Ottoman empire,where Greece belonged for about 400 years.Foreign people visited Greece more often than other parts of the empire,because of the ancient greek civilisation.That's why it's considered to be "the greek way".In Greece,it is called Ottoman style.

no you need to realize most of what you hear about fraternities in a big stereotype, I was in a fraternity in college and my initiation was actually a ritual and more of an oath intead of an physical or mental humiliation. Im sure some are it depends on the executive board of the fraternity and the school's policies on fraternities

Legally she's australian. But in her heart she is Greek. You have to understand that Greeks take their heritage seriously. So the next time she insists that she is Greek, agree with her.

Hello,\n\nI am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.  I am fully aware of the stereotypes that surround all of the african american greek letter organizations. I am a dark-skinned member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.\n\nPersonally, I think that it is just as unlikely that all of my sorors fit into that small state of mind as it is impossible to assume that all black are criminals.  My sorority as well as the other sororities mentioned by another answerer were all founded on principles that would allow us to contribute to the world around us, now, are there any members of the organizations that would fit into the stereotypes....of course there are.  No matter what you could come up with I am sure that you can find a member of any organization to fit it.....but it is unfair to say that we all fit into any particular mold.\n\nPerhaps the sorors who are watching you and who speak to you think that you would be a good fit into the sorority....it does not have to mean something negative......perhaps you should consider that.\n\nI don't think that there is one or two types of people that we tend to associate ourselves with.  That would be nearly impossible.  There are nearly 200,000 of us worldwide.  I know plenty of sorors who socialize with people from every walk of life.  Greek and non-greek.  We like anyone else gravitate towards the people who we think we can be friends with...and if RUSH is coming up soon at your school, there is a huge possibility that they are interested in you as a candidate for membership.\n\nDon't be so quick to lean towards the negative......things are not always what they seem!\n\nBest wishes to you!!!!!

A large part of being a capable and functional member of any sorority or fraternity is confidence.  We seek individuals who would be an asset to the organization, the community and ultimately, the world.  We want impressive ambassadors to the public, so that when others see any member at any given time, they will admire and want to be a part of us.  \n\nBefore you initiate this process, however, do not be afraid to be unapologetically yourself!  Take the initiative to discover who YOU are and what you are all about before you attempt to join a group.  You will be a better person for it and the sorority would be too, if you are accepted.  Don't let acceptance into a group make or break your importance in this world.  Nothing is worse than a large group of insecure people, because their focus very quickly turns into a negative competition to see how to tear each other down instead of building each other up.  The majesty of my sorority is that we are a conglomerate of exceptional human beings, period.  This is evidenced by our longevity (98 years strong!), ingenuity, elegance and excellence.  \n\nEvery good wish in all your pursuits and endeavors!

There have been several polls done that agreed that Thai women and Greek men were the most attractive.\nOf course that doesn't mean that every Greek guy is Adonis!!!\nI'd take the guy in Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, but maybe not the dad in My Greek Wedding, fr instance.

The question should be does anyone speaks Greek? Greece is the country.

im 19 and i am also greek...both my dads parents r full greek from greece.  i havent seen my dad since i was 8.  i have all the greek features except the black hair...mine is brown.  i am proud to be greek and if your daughter is too then your husband needs to respect that and atleast act like it doesnt bother him for your daughter.  it never bothered my step dad that i told people i was greek.  i would let her enjoy her heritage bc it is something to be proud of and if she's never known her real dad then its prolly the only thing from him that she has and there is nothing wrong with that.
