My parents had a real negative opinion about greek life and still do. They didn't know the entire first year that i had joined Sigma Chi. Then over the summer i wore my pledge class t-shirt and asked me whats up and i had to confess. They were really upset and since then haven't paid for my college. Even though they still hate the fact that im "wasting my money and time on that damn fraternity(least they don't call it a frat)" they told me they felt like a joined a good one. It sucks that they don't appreciate me being greek and especially when im the only brother who's parents aren't there for parents weekend, but you have to respect their opinion. Because of them not paying for my college i have definatly grown more responsible and self-confident. Since being a brother for 4 years and being on the deans list the last two and soon to graduate in a year they FINALLY told me they'd give me $1000 for tuition and,"not to think that by doing this that they support me being greek!" haha love my parents to death. But hey definatly rush no matter what your parents say, you will prove them wrong over the course of the next few years. Join a good one, be active, and never take being a sister for granted.
