I know exactly what you feel like. My family has tried to get in my business concerning my interest as well and believe me it has been difficult. I have usually tried to down play why I attended meetings, and community service events sponsored by Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. I would say things like "I just wanted to hear what they had to say". Unfortunately that didn't work for very long because my older sister has "leaked" the information to my family. But the family members who belong to another organization have even tried to dissuade me. But the women of my family who are members have encouraged me and made me more excited to be on the other side. It's been hard to try to better on the side of discretion when at every family gathering every greek member is constantly asking me so "what's going on with you and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc." As you can see I COMPLETLEY understand your plight. But all I can tell you is what I do and that is smile and say "I'm working on it but I'd rather not talk about it" That way you give them and inch but not the whole mile.
