I don't really have the opportunity to make college visits unfortunately (partly because they aren't considered excused absences at my school, which is weird to me) but I feel like it would be hard to get my mom to checkout those websites (I gave her email address to an alumni lady who's an adviser at one of the CSULB GLO I talked to for my paper while I was writing the paper, she was not happy.. I was 16, so I know thinking back I should have thought it through a little more.) Usually my mom is pretty open minded and willing to discuss things with me, but its just something about this that she doesn't like or want to talk about. My dad never says anything for the most part, and he tries to buffer when it comes up in conversation, so I don't think he really cares whether I go Greek or not. And I hope this doesn't make my mom sound bad, because she's great, and I love her, its just that its hard to talk about this with her.
And i haven't heard of alumnae groups where i live, and again it would be hard to try to get her to go.
