My parents (and grandparents for that matter) all went to college... but none of them had ever gone Greek. So I was boldly going where no one in my family had dared to go before.
My mom choice the indifference stand to the whole idea. Same with my dad. It shocked them that I was going to try and join a sorority, but they weren't going to stop me. They weren't going to help me either though, and I pay for my own dues. It works out fairly well though in the end since when they visited they met a bunch of my sisters and saw what nice girls they were and I think that really made them start to feel better about the whole situation which they knew so little about.
My mom wasn't worried about drinking with the sorority, because she knew if I wanted to drink, I would drink sorority or no sorority. It's college. This is not to say that I'm a heavy drinker or that my mom thinks I'm a terrible child. She just knows that college is all about freedom and daring to do what you want to do, so a GLO membership wouldn't change much when it came to doing things on my own.
