leslie,
i am so sorry that your mom doesn't seen to be supporting your decision to participate in fall recruitment, but i am awfully glad that you still want to give it a try! i think that parents go thru a lot of changes when their children go off to college and i wouldn't be surprised if you mom isn't feeling a little anxious too. maybe by denying you the opportunity to join a sorority, she feels able to still control some aspect of your life.
do you know any school teachers who are members of a sorority?any sunday school teachers, or bankers or nurses or doctors? how about judges or lawyers........you know where i am headed, i'll bet! if you can think of anyone who might be a sorority member and is someone your mother would admire, maybe they could talk to her and answer her questions. she could see how successful they are, see that they studied hard and made something of themselves, and they could tell your mom how their sorority experience helped them to become the person they are today.
please keep us informed. i sure hope that your mom will open her mind(and her heart), and that she starts supporting you.
