My parents were very apprehensive about me going Greek, because I originally wanted to join a local sorority that enjoys hazing. They were pretty happy when they found out I rushed Gamma Phi Beta instead.
They think sororities/fraternities can be good organizations, but would never pay my dues. I think they liked all the friendships I found within the house, and that it was somewhere for me to live other than the horrible situation I was in at the time.
