My parents encouraged me to be involved as I could in college, and I found that way to be through a sorority. My mom still doesn't understand why we do the things we do, and all the "lingo" that we use, but my dad was all for it; he's a member of Phi Delta Theta from U. of Rolla in Missouri. "Kelly, what's the name of your sorority? Delta Apple Pie?? "
They really started to appreciate the sorority after our parent's dinner this past semester. They got to meet a lot of the girls and were SO impressed with the scholastic achievement and philanthropic work that we do.
