NEW Sorority Life

Lanval'sFaerie · #1 11-27-2002, 10:42 PM

Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to share with you an e-mail that we (Phi Sigma Sigma) received along with every other greek org. on our campus.

Message: Hi, my name is Lauralee Jarvis and I am a researcher for the next season of
MTV's Sorority Life and Fraternity Life, to shoot in the spring of next
year.

I was wondering if there are local/independent fraternities and sororities on
your campus who might be interested in being a part of the next season.
Please send me contact information for the local organizations or feel free
to pass on my e-mail address and have them contact me directly.

If you are local fraternity or sorority that is receiving this e-mail and you
are interested, please send me some background information about your
organization (number of active members, website information, philanthropies,
activities, etc.) and about your university (location, surrounding cities,
size of the school, etc.).

If you are a national organization, sorry to have bothered you.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at my office:
716.837.2644.

Thank you for your time,
--Lauralee Jarvis
MTV Sorority Life and Fraternity Life

I never saw anything from the first season, but I heard it was pretty bad.

You didn't miss much. I watched one show, and at the end I was trying to puncture my eyes out, saying "shut up shut up you can be a sorority just shut up!"

Would I be correct in guessing that after that season, should those ladies wish to affiliate with a NPC sorority, they would get turned down?

That would be a sucky piece of snobbery if so . . although I do admit that you sorority women seem strange to us fraternity men at times . . . LOL.

I was just making that assumption based on the fact that I'd been told that they sort of hazed their pledges.

i wouldn't say it would be impossible for them to be NPC someday, just terribly, terribly difficult.. i think they're pretty happy doing what they do, anyway.

I don't think I would have been able to stand doing that show. As it is, I hate being videotaped on my best days.

The Good, The Bad, or The Ugly!

What has been on threads before about MTV does not put Greek Life in a very good perspective. Never watched it myself! But if was a downer, I would work my butt off to get to them and rip and roar. I do not meow when it comes to giving the Greeks a bad spot light!!!!

We do not need help like that!

*shrug*

I received the same email. My fraternity actually got an interview, though it's been almost a month since. I doubt we're still in the running to be selected.

If you ask me, these reality shows are getting out of hand.

What would a national do if a NPC Sorority chapter decided to take MTV's offer?

And what are they afraid of?

James,
I think all the NPCs have told their members do not even think about it. I'm fairly certain that if any chapter decided to go ahead and do Sorority Life over their Nationals objections that the chapter would lose their charter and the members who participated disaffiliated.

I think you're right. I've talked about it with my sisters, and we all agreed there was no way we'd do something like that, no matter how much money or other cool stuff they gave us. I'm sure Panhel would have a fit if a national group did that anyway, not to mention our own nationals
