KLPDaisy my parents were also pioneers as was my older sister but in Yugoslavia they are NOT I repeat NOTHING like Hitler youth! Rather they were like Girl or Boy scouts with summer camps and Pioneer Olympics and volunteering all over the country to help rebuild it after the devastation of WWII.
That said, coming from a multicultural sorority we run into a lot of problems. There are parents who still believe their daughters are in a cult, others who think all the sisters are lesbians trying to 'convert' their daughters to homosexuality, things of that sort. Obviously none are true but the only person who can understand the experience of being Greek is he/she who is Greek him/herself. In the end, parents always see how dedicated we are to promoting academics, service and leadership while having close sisterly bonds all experienced through multiculturalism. In fact, for Parents' Weekend a couple of weeks ago, we had a dinner at a Japanese restaurant all together to get to know each other and had a wonderful time.
