I joined mine to be more involved on campus. I never thought I was the type and bought into all the stereotypes that everybody has heard time and time again. Also I didn't know how my parents would react. But a couple friends saw the flyers around campus for what looked like a sorority recruitment and they had been wanting to join well, I was just going to go get information on it and then that would be it. Well it turned out that they were/are black and there were no black women in there so they were like "Hey go check it out and tell us about it" So I did and I was undecided as to if I would join but the next night a few sisters came to my apartment and gave me a bid and I started jumping up and down in excitement and the rest is history. As for my parents, I waited like a semester or so before telling them and the reacted just the opposite of how I thought they would. Thats my story
