My parents know that I joined for the right reasons. They also know that sometimes I am frustrated with my sisters because a few of them aren't on the same maturity level. They think the big sister I have found is an amazing woman and are glad that I can turn to her if I need anything. My boyfriend is also in a fraternity and they think he is the most polite and well-mannered young man they have ever met. They know that if it wasn't for his fraternity (and maybe even the fact that I was Greek), I wouldn't have met him.

As for paying dues, they offer to pay all of my expenses as long as I study my butt off, but I pay my dues with my work study job.
