Well Said. My parents were very scared about my intentions to going greek. My mom was pretty quiet about it and my dad too. However my dad was more comical about it and would poke fun at me. Still does but its really just in good fun. I just think they've never grasped the concept. I'd say its even more difficult for my younger brother but we agree to disagree. My sister in law is an AGD(shes really cool) and one of my moms brothers is a Phi Delt Alum(his wife is a DZ alum too). So we do have some greek affiliation in the family but its rarely talked about. However, all of that never stopped me from being a very proud Beta

I got the worst reaction from my friends, and I know for at least some of them it was because it was they were scared. Some of our mutual friends went greek, and hardly ever talk to anyone who isn't in their glo. They were furious that I was rushing because they thought I was ditching them to hang out with greek people. I still talk to them and I hope I have proved them wrong you can have friends outside your glo and still be an involved sister. As for my fam I know that I single handedly changed my sisters perception of greek since she went to same school that I did and she hated them, now she sees the other side. I think people aren't mad at you for rushing they are just scared you are going to change into a sterotypical greek drunk all the time and only hanging out with other greek people. Prove them wrong be the great person you are now and join a frat, you can be an awesome guy and in a fraternity, contrary to popular opinion. Good luck any fraternity would be happy to have you!
