Telling the 'rents...

When I was considering recruitment, I talked to a few close family members and friends. I mostly got laughed at. How awesome is that?

Wow that is ROUGH.

My mom is supportive of everything I do no matter what and my dad came around when I showed him how much better Greek GPAs are compared to non-greek on my campus. There is a pretty big difference. Plus my school is well, HUGE. So he decided it would probably be best for me to find a close group of friends like he had. (He went to a small state school with all of his buddies from elementary, middle and high school.

It sucked, but most of my family did not go greek and has negative opinions about the whole deal. I explained to them what specifically I was looking for and what sororities on my campus had to offer. They still have their doubts, but at least they know why I'm pursuing this. I have their support, even if they don't agree.
