Mom, wasnt too thrilled about it at all. My cousin went to college in the town we lived in, my aunt asked her to like watch over him and he pledged (and still is a member) of XYZ. Well needless to say he ended up in the hospital 2x . My cousin , suprisingly, cuationed me from it but had no problem. My friends knew about it and just asked that i didnt change, but had no problem with it. The only issues people kind of had were why did i join NPC instead of NPHC. When i would come back, people would ask if they treated me ok and other yada yada stuff.
