I know this is really old, but my parents were not excited at
all when I went Greek. When my sister joined her sorority a year later, they were even less excited. They came from a time when sorority membership was a sign of extreme elitism and indicated rigid class distinctions in certain communities, and they were kind of activisty in college. They let us know, pretty early on, in very specific terms that we were on our own for dues and related costs. My sister and I have both been active alumnae--my sister was her chapter's president for two years--so their lack of approval never stopped us. I can see if we were less enterprising and more dependent on them, we could have chosen not to go Greek.
