I won't repeat what other women have stated, b/c those are what I did with my mother. She wasn't against greek life, but she didn't understand it since she didn't go to college. We both had the same preconceived notions. With a friend of mine who attended UNC before me, my mom and I looked at the UNC Panhellenic website. Here there are 5 houses, and it lists their gpas, and new member gpa's as well. One thing you could do is check out the website for the school you are going to attend, or if they don't have one, find out what organizations they have. Then, with your mom before the tea on sunday look at the websites and see what each organizations are about. Then she can ask general questions for the women who are disaffiliated. It might help her to understand as well.

I know most websites have founding information, philanthropies, and some (I know AOII does), has a section for parents.
