I wouldn't classify my parents as anti-greek but they are completely dumbfounded by the whole thing. They just don't see past the negative stereotype. I'm kind of trying little by little to get them to understand and show them how happy I am with my fraternity. It helps a bit but they unfortunately they've been seeing a lot of the stress I'm feeling due to my leadership position and not any of the small things I love about it. So because of that they're a little anti-fraternity right now. Hopefully they'll get it someday.
My dream is to have my dad become an alumni initiate, but until I know he understands what Delta Chi means to me I'll be vehemently opposed to it. Maybe some day...
