my roommate/best friend was doing something very similar. she's very anti-social and goes home on the weekends a lot, so she's never there to meet any of my sisters. one time i told her we were going to dinner and when she got in my car, i swung by the sorority house and picked up one of my sisters and we all got dinner together. it turned out that she liked her and thought she was nice. but when i was pledging, she was very vocal about the fact that she didn't like me doing it. we are from a small town and it's not looked upon as a cool thing to do. she would say things like, "i could be a delta gamma too, you know" and if she saw me wearing a DG shirt she would just be like, "ugh" and make an ugly face. but she eventually accepted it. i think for non-greeks it's hard to understand what kind of bond you have with your brothers or sisters. because of this lack of understanding, i think they feel kind of left out. i think they might feel like, "well, i thought i was her best friend, but now she does all this secret stuff with all these other girls that i don't know." and that's not cool to them. but, i agree with killing them with kindness. that makes it so much harder for them to hate greeks. that way they can see the good that we do. good luck!
