After a girl fills out the registration card prior to Pledge/New Member Service, our chapter advisor usually sends an informational letter to her parents, but only if we get permission from the new member. If a new member says that we can't, then we abide by that decision. It's because of the right to privacy law, but most new members allow us to contact their parents.

Later on during their new membership the sister-moms write a letter of introduction to the parents, as UMJess had said.
