THAT IS REALLY WHAT THEY THINK BEING GREEK IS ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!! I don’t know how to change their minds.

My organization is "non-traditional" (latina based), and many Latino parents, especially the more traditional, tied to their customs parents don't understand what Sororities and Fraternities are all about. That's why my org hosts a parents informational night for the parents of PNM. It's really great. It's somewhat informal, usually ends up with a barbecue and everybody getting to know each other better.
It's a good idea, but sometimes it's hard to get all the parents together because of location. In those cases, we put together an information packet and mail it out.
Maybe other organizations already do this, maybe it's something they can start doing. Hope this helps.
