If you're accepting your parent's money, you should be aware that there are possibly strings attached. Burning your relationship with your parents to join a sorority is probably not something most of us would advise and lying to your parents would likely run contra to the organization whose values you are wanting to promote. It seems to me you have a couple of options here--1) sell your parents on the sorority--that they can trust you and that you are and will remain in control and if things go South you can always drop. 2) Fill out a FAFSA, go buy your own car and truly start to adult--you can then make your own decisions without having any concerns regarding what your parents think. Choice number 2 isn't insane considering you are a junior in college.
