In my experience as a fraternity member, the only way to put a positive image in the parents' minds is to actually show them what a positive experience GLO membership can provide. That is to say, once you become a member, throw a Parents Weekend event to showcase all of the great things about your house. 99% of parents who have come to our Parents Weekend with negative pre-conceived images of Greek life leave with a totally different and positive opinion about how their sons are spending their college lives.

I'm sure the same holds true for sororities. Evidently, lip service will not do the job - you will have to prove by your actions that being a member of a GLO is a complement, not a detriment, to a rewarding college experience.
