My mother was in a sorority in college and didn't have the best experinece. She didn't get very good friends from it (I'm not sure why), and thought the pledging activities they had her do in the late 60's were silly (she vividly remembers having to put peanut butter on her pledge sister's face and taking a banana out of the toilet blindfolded with her bare hands). She didn't want me to join because she thought her experience wasn't worth it. My Dad was in a fraternity, and while he loved it, he didn't study as hard because of it. So he didn't want me in a sorority because I was at college to study, not have fun (at one point in time I went to a football game, and he told me, "I think you go to too many sporting events. You should stop going and study." I had only been to one game!).
I rushed anyway, and pledged a group that didn't make me do silly things, and helped me find a job when I got out of college. I had such a good experience with my sorority, my mom tried to bribe my sister to join one her freshman year!!
