Okay, gotcha. From a pure financial perspective, there's lots of stuff out there about how it's less expensive to live in the house (where you get your meals) vs. an apartment (unless yours is the type of campus where you live in a dorm all four years, but then you still have meal plans, etc.) if that would help you with your dad. Plus a sorority house is much safer than an apartment, as ISUKappa said.
I would also broaden your search for positive role models (for your dad) to other sororities. While our own sororities are special to each of us, all of them share many of the same positive benefits that you want to show your dad. Does he work with any sorority alumnae? Were any of your high school teachers alumnae? How about people who wrote your recommendations when you went through recruitment - could they be of any help?
Good luck to you, fellow Monmouth Duo member!
