Former UCLA advisor here. I can't tell you how many first generation American students who pledged who would drop immediately because their parents learned of pledging and didn't get it or didn't get the costs. It was a big issue about 10 years ago. I imagine it still exists. Los Angeles and California have a lot of wonderful hardworking immigrants. Greek Life is completely foreign to them. It's hard on their kids who want to pledge who have to drop (even if the kids are paying for it themselves) and hard on the chapters who have to find a way to fill their vacant spots.
