My mom & stepdad are Greek, so I told them that I wanted to join a sorority and they were pretty happy.

Now my dad was a different story. He lives in CA and went to San Diego State, which has a big Greek party scene. So when I told him that I got a bid to a sorority, all he kept saying was that he didn't want me to turn into a big partier and neglect my studies.

I started sending him pics via e-mail of me having fun with my sisters (sober fun of course) and doing community service related things like Relay for Life & the county Christmas toy drive. I pointed out my chapter's education initiatives like mandatory study hours and rewards for attendng classes. He eventually changed his opinion when I told him that I have been awarded a $100 prize by our alumna advisory board for having the highest GPA in the chapter at the end of my junior year.
