I've been out of school a long time, but neither of my parents wanted me to join a fraternity. My mother had been in a sorority, but my father had gone the Navy route instead of college and didn't understand what a fraternity was all about. They ultimately let me make my decision, but for a while they were very apprehensive about the fraternity. It wasn't until they actually got to know some of my brothers and see how truly happy I was that they dropped their objections.
Ultimately I became a Greek Life advisor, and while my father never understood what I did (he thought I planned keg parties for a living), they both realized that joining a fraternity was ultimately the right move for me.
Give your mom time, she'll eventually start to see it from your perspective. Moms often look at things from the worst-case-scenario viewpoint, but in time if she sees her fears aren't coming true she'll ease on her objections. (and it doesn't change, no matter how old you get, Mom will always worry!)
