My mom is from Honduras and is absolutely pro-Greek. She was excited when my sister became an Alpha Phi, and a little disappointed when she disaffilated.
My dad went to Long Beach State in the 70's, I've never heard him talk about Greeks before, but he's never asked me dumb questions like, "So do you ladies really paddle each other?"
It was highly expected that I would join a sorority, so when I did last year, my parents were (and still are) super excited, proud, and most importantly, supportive. I'm really thankful to have gotten encouraging parents. My mom even wears her mother's pin to work everyday!
