When parents have never gone to college or been members of a GLO, they do not understand of course.
I was the first for both and they learned to love the Brothers of the local and the LXA Colony! Became second parents for many!
One of our Presidents never told his parents that he was in a Fraternity as they were strongly against it because of being farmers in Kansas and felt poor. It was a waste of money and time!
We had a Founders Day and they showed up while a bunch of were standing on the deck when the came up! They asked for Jerehma AND one of the Guys holloraed at him inside of the house and he came out and was totally surprised.
The presented him with an emerald Badge as they were so proud of him.
Wow what a surprise for J and all of us!
So that you wonder what is going on and when parents find out there is much more than doing parties they feel fine!
Ask them to come over, find out what you do as far as charity events and running offices on campus and being involved!
