My parents were pretty chill about the whole thing--gotta give it up to crunchy granola parenting.
They have always trusted us to make the best decisions for us, and that included Greek Life--they were familiar with both NPC and NPHC recruitment, and let us know what was smart/stupid to do in regard to those processes. I was responsible for paying dues, which was my choice--I figured that with my parents paying tuition, room/board, books, and airfare at a very expensive school far away, I could pay my sorority dues out of my summer job. It had nothing to do with whether or not my parents supported my decision to go Greek. Last year for Christmas, my mother made my sister and I quilts in our colors, so now a red and green quilt graces my bed!
