Both my parents didn't finish college and went to a school where they didn't have Fraternities so they were and still are very against me being in Sigma Chi. They don't pay for my dues or anything related to sigma chi(shirts hats etc.) They say they don't support people/orgs. that drink. Im glad they dont pay my dues actually cause it actually makes me appreciate being a sig that much more. I see kids who's parents do pay for it and they take it for granted. They don't like the fact im in a fraternity but they are proud that im a sigma chi because of our christian background(that and my dad is a big John Wayne fan and my mom is a big Tom selleck/brad pitt fan...all 3 are sigs). They also like the fact of all the stuff we do such as raising money for CMN, Multiple Sclerosis society and soup kitchens etc. But when they see some of my party pictures they say, "oh we see what you REALLY do in Sigma Chi." That kinda irkes me but you can't win the Fraternity thing with my parents. That and they always say oh its just a college thing...it'll wear off when you graduate. And i plan to prove them wrong on that one too! :-)Just don't let it knock you down, just keep proving your dad wrong and eventually he'll see.
