My parents are pretty apathetic, but my mother did make me an AXO quilt, so they're not totally unsupportive. Although other family members make the distincition between my being an AXO and my sister's membership in AKA (and belittle my choice!), my parents see that our Greek experiences were more similar than different.
I chalk it up to the time during which they went to college, and they went to schools that didn't have big Greek systems even when fraternity membership was more popular. Plus, Papa went to school to be an engineer--not much time to pledge there!
