He called me one more time because he had been talking to one of his company partners who had a bad greek experience and he was making sure i wasnt a "frat boy". It was much harder to tell my non-greek friends, they just dont understand either.

My parents didn't/don't really understand all about it so like Pike_Cardinal said, they weren't upset, but they weren't super excited about it because they had no idea what I was doing. My mom is more interested in it because she's met some of my sorority sisters and she knows that they're great friends and awesome people all around. My biological sisters don't understand at all--my older sister will ask how it is, but that's about it. I want my younger sister to rush, but ultimately it's her own choice.
I got a lot of backlash from my high school friends; most of my college friends kind of already figured I was going to rush/pledge (even before I knew I wanted to!!). The week I put it in my AIM profile/Facebook, I received a lot of messages and IMs from people saying "I can't believe you did this, you're a bad person" -- I don't really talk to these people anymore because they clearly didn't support me.
My high school friends that I still hang out with have come to accept it and I still see them all the time even though I have 90+ sisters that they don't know
