Hit post. Either way, if I get a bid from this sorority, I will most likely pledge, no matter what my parents say, as they technically can't force me to stop pledging. I guess it comes down to how strong my resolve is to tolerate any threats (empty or otherwise) my parents might make. Like 33girl said, the car isn't essential to college. I just want to do as little damage to my relationship with my parents as possible while still getting to make my own choices.
