This is an older thread, but I'll chime-in anyway.
The best way to get parental support, from my experience as a Greek Advisor, is to keep your grades up and talk about all of the positive benefits a GLO membership has for you.
You may be fueling the fire by constantly defending your decision. If she brings up something negative about it, ignore it or change the subject.
If your grades sharply increase from the norm, and she asks how you did it, say, "Well, they have mandatory study groups and tutor's available" or however your organization has it set up. Anytime you are doing volunteer work, make sure she knows that.
When she sees the benefit and the results of it, that is how you make the "sale".
However, I always tell students, ultimately you grades are your #1 priority. A GLO membership isn't going to help you if you barely keep the minimum to stay in, and those kinds of grades aren't going to get you into graduate school.
