I think my parents were initially frustrated with the amount of time I committed to the sorority. My grades never faltered, I worked to support myself and pay for school, and so I was pretty much my own person.
During my first year, I simply would not miss a chapter meeting for anything, and I think my parents viewed it as cultlike that I wouldn't come home for a birthday... "But I'll miss chapter!" I relaxed as time went on and so did they-- what really won them over was when they FINALLY came up to school for Parent's Weekend. ADPi had lots of family activities planned, and my mother cried when I presented her with our "Mother's Pin" at the annual mother-daughter brunch, and we all serenaded our moms.
