Hi!
You mentioned that you were 17- my parents were concerned when I went off to a large university and rushed at 16. My mother had grown up on the edge of the campus and had witnessed a lot of the beer parties and so forth. She'd also seen a lot of heartbroken girls during rush.
What won them over was when the pledge chairman described our scholarship program to them and they saw that by darn, that sorority was going to ensure that we made good grades. My parents also realized that it would be the fastest way for me to make friends in a state where I knew no one. So what you want to stress to them would be the scholarship, the friendships, the leadership skills you'll learn, and the service you'll perform!
Just a little more motherly advice!!!
