The more you prepare, the more you can counter any concerns they may have about Greek life.
If your mom and dad are worried your grades will drop, you can talk about how sororities have mandatory study hours/weekly study breaks/tutoring programs with older sisters or whatever you have on your campus. Talk about the disparity between Greek GPA and overall campus GPA (if it's higher).
If they're worried about money, lay out a specific plan on how exactly you're going to pay for sorority membership.
If they're worried about you partying, you can tell them that you could easily find people to party with, even outside of Greek membership.
Tell them how excited you are about the philanthropies and how much time Greeks on your campus give to charitable causes. Get excited about all the things you're looking forward to in a potential sorority membership, and if their fears are alleviated, hopefully your enthusiasm will catch on. Good luck!
