My reasons were very similar to yours Scrapcat. When I went through college joining a sorority never crossed my mind and what I knew about it was very limited, so I wanted to find a place where I could find neutral, unbiased information (translation: not what I thought she and her friends wanted me to know, so she could talk me into it - LOL). Also, at the time, we had some questions about recruitment that she wanted to get answered by people who didnt know her and wouldn't just tell her what she wanted to hear. Initially, for both of us this site provided a lot of invaluable information.
I think I mentioned once that I stayed on because her sorority has obviously become a major part of her life. When things are important to my kids I want to show an interest and be able to talk to them intelligently about the things they love. This site has helped me do that.
Finally, there are threads here that have nothing to do with sororities that I find fun, interesting, and/or entertaining to read.
I will say that I think parents who come on here would get less flack if they spend a lot of time READING first before they ever start to post and kind of get the "lay of the land". I read for a full year before I posted and that was after my daughter had accepted her bid.
