Hi Allison,
My parents didn't "get it" at first either. Neither of them went to college. My mom has never been a joiner - thought the PTA, etc. was for the birds - but when she saw how excited I was, she was cool with it. My pop was kind of worried about the cost, but I just referenced the fact that he is in Masons and that costs money, and it's worth so much more than he puts in. If you put it in terms they are familiar with, it helps make them feel a little more comfortable with it.
