Thank you!
Is there a Parents' Club in your city? If so, by all means contact them and ask that your parents be invited to join or at least asked to attend a function. Perhaps this will be an eye opener for them. They may even know some of the other parents already.

If there is no formal Parents' organization in your city, perhaps one or more of your sisters' parents could invite your parents to lunch or dinner in an informal setting to discuss the benefits (scholarship, service, safety, social, etc.).

My mother was invited to a Mothers'Club meeting where, to her surprise and delight, two of her long-time friends were in attendance. She joined right then and there and became a wonderful supporter of my chapter and eventually, President of the Mothers' Club.

I hope things work out for you.
