[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I try to let our children have control of their decisions. But fraternities scare me. We also have no direct experience as my DH and I went to a school that didn’t have fraternities or sororities.

Our DS is a high school junior so it’s not an issue facing us right now, but trying to begin thinking about it.

Did any of you tell your children, for their safety, fraternies were not an option? Is that even a silly restriction since we don’t have direct experience but just hear what is in the news? And it’s not about them paying for it vs us paying for it - it’s about safety.[/quote]

I was in a sorority. I didn't like it. I didn't like the value system at all. It all kind of repulsed me.

I would NOT tell my kids not to do it. I told them my experience, then told them if they valued that kind of crap, go for it. But, they would pay for it on their own. I reminded them it isn't just dues; its also a lot of extras that were required (clothing, admission fees, dance fees, initiation fees, etc., etc.)[/quote]
