OK. i really want to pledge for a sorority [something i've wanted to do for a long time], but my parents are dead set against it. They have negative images from the media and stuff and nothing i can do can change that. I've recently had the brilliant idea of getting a job, and trying to pay for it myself...
I was just wondering if there are sororities against taking sophmores [maybe a junior by the time i get my $$ saved up], if they aren't getting support from their families... or if their families don't know about them pledging.
Should i go with the risk?...

yes i know i am in college but sadly the way i was raised is different... the parents control everything until pretty much marriage.... even then the marriage might be arranged

[not happening to me]
i was also wondering if yall had heard some similar stories or have gone through it yourselves and how you feel about it now....
