How would your boyfriend feel if you wanted to join an organization on campus that wasn't a sorority, like Astronomy Club, or Spanish Club, something like that? Is he against sororities per se, or does he feel sort of threatened that you are trying to "forge out" on your own and create your own friends and experiences. If he is against you expanding your horizons and making new friends, then he is trying to control you. If he is only against sororities, please keep trying to educate him about what they're all about. If he refuses to listen or even hear what you have to say, then you need to listen to your heart. In the end, what is most important is YOUR HAPPINESS, not the sororities' happiness, not HIS HAPPINESS. YOUR HAPPINESS. If you still decide to pursue sororitiy membership (and I hope that you do), I think you have to tell him, "I want to go Greek, like it or lump it."
