one can hope ...
 

that the sisters get a bit more serious on these pledge house girls...
jessica and deedee (who i think still lives there) seem fine, but the others need a reality check if this is indeed what they want to do. they scanned briefly to the point board. it sounds like an intervention is in order. please, some new drama. that has some reality.
:D

I wondered when the sisters were going to crack down on the pledges. Their pledging has been a cake walk, compared to GCers. Jordan and Candace had to tone down the stuff they're doing....

I too have walked into a glass window..It was dark and the window was a full glass one so I thought it was a doorway..I was walking pretty fast towards it and SLAM!! :eek: <---I looked just like that....Right in the face.Try lookin good after that in front of your sisters and fraternity boys.I played it off pretty well though,lol.Even though my sisters were dying on the floor laughing. Just one of those moments going into the Chi Omega Journal.

Anyway, I agree that Jordan is putting no effort into getting to know the sisters and the rest of her pledges sisters and HUH..Was I the only who noticed that Candace wasn't even 21 YET...I thought Jessica was the only one under the age..Ohh that looks good.

Does anyone else think that the sisters handled the meeting really poorly? IMO, to go right out and tell Jessica that they're calling because her five housemates are in big trouble was not classy at all. They could have used more discretion. They could have just as easily disciplined them all without advertising it to the world. And that board thing -- what in the world? If I DID get in trouble, I'd hate to have it posted up for the world to see. I mean, doing that is just going to alienate these girls even more than they already are. I am glad to see that the whole pledge class is doing something together next week, but it still creeps me out that the new girls are never at the main house, and whenever we see the sisters and new girls together, it usually involves the older girls pointing and whispering. Is that really the full extent of their interaction?

PS: Becca needs to change her shirt. She's worn that red and grey thing every episode :)

I think that Dede (the blonde one) is also underage!

alright so this is what the fourth episode? and oh wait has anything that depicts real sorority life happened? no. . .yes we drink, but that's all they've been showing. yes they've been showing the pledge (ahem new member meetings) meetings, but they have no substance? what about why the sorority was founded? what about their ideals? why don't we get to find out about other sisters and new members? yes they follow around the same people because it's easy, but can't they show someone else occasionally? these people don't talk to anyone else? plus, nothing really happens in each episode. i keep watching in the hopes something will happen. mtv has like 15 mins of commercials and 10 mins of show. there can't be any kind of developments in 10 mins. i'm glad that they talked to the girls about their actions, but they shouldn't have told jessica it was for the other five, and jessica shouldn't have been snickering when she told the others that they had a meeting. last episode i felt sorry for her, but this episode i think she deserves some of what the others dish out. based on what the brilliant editors (yeah right) at mtv have chosen to show us, it seems she really hasn't made an effort to get to know the house girls. ok that's enough ranting for now. yes i will continue to watch it, and unfortunately i'm kinda addicted :eek: we'll see what next week brings. . .

Okay, yes Jordan does things that aren't very "Sigma like" as they put it, but at least she is a genuine individual. Yes, she says, "If they don't want to get to know me, I don't want to get to know them," but at least you can tell that if they weren't being snobbish with her, she would be that way in return. She cares, she just doesn't want to admit it. Yes, she could be a bigger person and try and get to know all of the girls and open up to them, but at least she isn't bashing all of the actives in the freakin confessional like Candace!! Candace has this awful "I do'nt give a f*ck" attitude. When I saw her with her parents and saw that they went to the club with her and the girls to celebrate her 21st, I knew there was no way she would tone down her behavior. Did your parents go and party like a rock star with you the evening of your 21st??? Didn't think so.

As for the other girls, Mara is really sweet and I haven't seen anything to warrant her not being initiated. Jessica is a little feisty, actually really feisty. She just rarely appears to be that way because she is the one we need to feel sorry for, remember? And DeeDee, where the hell is she?!?!?! She is totally MIA. :rolleyes: Amanda is coming across as having the "I don't want to get to know the girls" attitude just because Candace and Jordan feel that way. I could be wrong, but that's what I gather.

Until next week....

This show has zero to do with sorority life. MTV thought that would be a good buzzphrase to generate interest. It's the Candace and Jordan show. And it's quite obvious that neither of them give a crap about Sigma or have a clue what sorority life means.

And may I just say...no matter how cool they are....taking your parents along on your 21st...yuck.

i have to admit that i'm a guy who watches the show....
anyway, it was so funny when jordan ran into the window...i laughed so hard.
i have done it too...one time at a party at sae i wanted to go outside and i walked into a huge window that is floor to ceiling. so many people saw. good thing i was drunk.

Silent, but not gone yet
 

So I'm sick of not commenting, so heres a couple things I noticed from the show:

If you didnt believe that MTV slices and cuts footage into some sort of collage, you can believe it now. The scene in the "bar" where the "sisters" were supposedly looking at Candace and Jordan freaking each other didnt happen like that.THEY WERE IN FACT TWO DIFFERENT BARS. The sisters (Leslie, Leah, Rachel) all appear to be at the Grad which you can tell by the diference in the wood panneling, while Jordan and Candace are at the Cantina, which doesnt have wood paneling, just wooden tables and brightly colored chairs. So we really have no idea what they were looking at, and the cut and paste is to create tension, which we all pretty much know. (I dont mean to toot my own horn, but I have a knack for identifying background in split-second shots. I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, so tons of places I've been end up as the back drop for scenes in various things, so its something I've gotten really good at, in case you are wondering. Oh, and I annoy my friends CONSTANTLY with it! ha ha)

Oh, and when the girls are talking about Mitzvah Day in the hot tub, that was an ample opportunity to show the community service we do, since doing a mitzvah means doing a good deed, and that's what they do on those day. You can see pictures from it on the sigma website. Obviously MTV is not intrested in showing what the sorority actually does, but like I said, we knew that already!

As far as Mara getting sick during the parents BBQ, from what I could tell, it looked like she got sick in her own apt. I know for sure she wasnt at the BBQ. But I also know that for Picnic Day, where some people start drinking at 10am (I dont know who can stomach beer that early in the morning!), its not that unusual to be passed out by 7-8, though it definitly does suck. Picnic Day is/was awesome, and I had a great time this year!

Anyone got any questions, or things they are wondering about?

One more thing
 

I dont know anything about the rumor (honest), but I always thought that the Exec Prod. was gay. As in out, not as in derogatory terms

In one word, yes. I know this is a young sorority (only four years, right?) and they probably don't deal with these kind of behavioral problems every quarter, but come on! Get a backbone and tell them exactly what is up. For example: "Our concerns are that the drinking has been in excess, people don't feel you're making the effort to get to know others outside the pledge house, you're breaking house rules, you're talking bad about the chapter to other people, etc." Not: "Well, there are some concerns about your motives."

And yes, it does worry me that we don't see scenes of the pledges and sisters together, except for new member meetings and bar splices. I know that just because we don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't happen but, similar to what ChiOJenn78 said, this show stopped being about the sorority as soon as those girls moved into the pledge house. MTV could show a little sisterhood and community service/philanthropy without loosing it's drama...trust me, we're getting a double helping of that crap as it is.

I'm officially labeling this show as the train wreck that it is!

Finally, someone labeled this entire show for what it is!!!! The pledges don't get along with each other. From the previews for next week, the actives and pledges will have to spend 3 nights in the pledge houses w/the 6 that already live there! What do you think of that?!?!

and only one bathroom
 

got to love it...
now some real drama.
