I hate to say it, but this is a constant frustration amongst Greeks, and I'd have to say we're at a loss as to what exactly to "say" to change people's minds.

My little sister was anti-Greek her first year or so and finally joined my sorority her second semester of junior year. Through me and some of the other girls, she saw what it really meant to be part of a sorority and, in turn, how much it meant to us.

Be yourself. Live your ritual every day and it will make you a better person. In time, hopefully your friends will see the change it has made in you (or the changes it HASN'T made), and maybe they'll at least accept it, even if they don't like it.
