I think you also need to find out exactly what the objections are. Is it financial? If so, then you need to figure out how you're going to pay for those dues so you can tell them that. Is it having a skewed idea of what happens in sororities because of movies/negative media? Then counteract those things. Are they worried that you need to make sure you can handle the academic load before committing yourself? If so, then you need to have points that speak to that. Was there a bad experience when he was in college that gave him a negative view? I was lucky because my mom was totally against me joining a sorority but my dad felt that being in a fraternity was the best thing he did in college. When they met in college, apparently my mom was harassed by sorority women because she was dating a fraternity man and wasn't in a sorority. That left a bad taste in her mouth. My dad was so supportive though that he overruled her objections.
After meeting my sisters at a Mother-Daughter Tea, my mom changed her tune and the summer before she died (24 years after my Initiation), she told me "You doing that sorority thing was a really good thing for you to do. I'm really impressed with your sorority."
