My parents aren't anti-Greek per say, but my mother still doesn't understand why I choose to be in a sorority. She went to a school without Greek life- all she has to go on are stereotypes. My dad, curiously, hasn't seemed to care- interesting only because his alma mater has a large Greek system.
What has helped them to understand is seeing my friendships with these women. Today, I went to an Easter service with one of my sisters, and she invited me to eat lunch with herself and her family. Considering there would have been only 3 of them, this was a beautiful gesture that I deeply appreciated, especially since I couldn't be with my own family. I think, little by little, she's beginning to understand. And while she may never be the kind of mother who would appreciate a mother's pin, I think she'll continue to support me.
Sidenote- aephi_alum: I LOVE the Firefly quote. 2nd best cancelled series ever (behind Pushing Daisies, for me).
