My parents were all for it - it was something I had considered doing since I was in grade 11, so they knew I was excited about it. UBC is a huge school (30,000+) so they saw this as a good way to meet new people. Also my cousin and his wife are alumni of UBC's greek system, so they filled my parents in on all the fun stuff. I even had my grandparents blessing on this one
. My parents saw how much I enjoyed Greek life they encouraged my brother to join a fraternity when he started UBC this autumn. 10 years ago no one in my [immediate] family was a greek now there is one beta, one kappa, one dphie
, and one sigma chi!
