Okay, so the other day I was browsing some forums and stumbled upon this term “frat sweetheart.” I’d heard it tossed around before, but honestly, I had no clue what it actually meant. So, naturally, I went down a bit of a rabbit hole to figure it out.

My Little Investigation
First, I just did a basic search. You know, typed “what is a frat sweetheart” into the search bar and saw what popped up. I skimmed a bunch of different websites, and they all seemed to have more or less the same answer.
It looked like most of the top results agreed. A “frat sweetheart” is basically a girl who’s really close to the guys in a fraternity. She’s like their honorary member, I guess. She hangs out with them a lot, goes to their events, and is just generally considered a good friend of the fraternity.
Digging a Little Deeper
After getting the basic definition, I wanted to know a bit more. Like, how does someone become a sweetheart? Is it, like, an official title? So I looked into that a little bit more.
From what I read, it seemed like there are different ways. I saw that, sometimes, it is an official thing. Like, some fraternities might actually have a vote or some kind of process to choose a sweetheart. It’s kind of like an award or a recognition, that can be formal.
But other times, it sounds like it’s just something that happens naturally. Like, a girl just becomes really good friends with the guys in a fraternity, and they all consider her their sweetheart without any formal vote or anything. And the ways that it can happen is different across groups.

- Getting Nominated: It seems like the usual thing is a nomination. Someone in the frat suggests a girl, and then maybe there is a vote?
- Hanging Around: Just spending lots of time with them, and you naturally become friend.
- Being Supportive: Showing up to the events, and supporting the group.
Putting It All Together
So, after all that searching and reading, here’s what I figured out about what a “frat sweetheart” is:
It’s basically a title given to a girl who’s super close to a fraternity. She’s like their best female friend, someone they all really like and respect. Sometimes it’s an official thing with a vote, other times it’s just a natural friendship that develops. But either way, it seems like a pretty cool honor to have!
And that’s it. Now I known what’s a “frat sweetheart”.
