Involvement
Parents are playing an increasingly larger role in the life of fraternities and sororities. For many students joining a Greek organization involves support from their family. When a student joins a Greek organization they are making a commitment to that chapter, often times that commitment is one that will shape and mold their lives. With such a large role in students lives it is easy to see why parents invest their support. There are many ways that you as a parent can get involved. Below is a list of possible ways to get involved.
Parent/Alumni Club
This is a way to get a better idea of what the Greek organization stands for. It will also allow you to take an active role in advising the direction of the chapter. Time commitment varies chapter to chapter. Check with your son or daughter's chapter to find out what is available here and what the commitment's are.
Hosting a Parents Get Together
This will allow you to meet other parents, and it is a good way to connect with other parents socially.
Write a letter to the Parents of Prospective Members
This is a good way to share your experience with the parents of new members. It is also a nice way to share your fantastic experiences with others.
Participate in Parent's Day, Mom's Day or Dad's Day
Most chapters will host special programming for Parents weekend. This is not only a good way to get in the Chapter but to also show your support for Northwest Missouri State University.

Plan a Parent/Student Community Service Event
Service to the community is a great way to bring our Greek community together and to help others. Considering that Greek organizations are founded on the principle of service to others it is fitting that you participate in the chapter's community service. It is a nice way to interact with the members of the chapter and show support for the activities that they are doing.
