Why waste perfectly good cups? Just wash them and re-use them.

You're trying to cancel the show, not bring it back. So sending 20 tons of empty solo cups would probably backfire on you by creating awesome publicity for the show and ABC Family and getting even more people to watch it. Smart thinking!

People may not be "swayed," but it contributes to the overall negative view of Greek life that seems to be being fostered in our society today. If a young person happens to view a show where GLOs are shown as dangerous, drug-infested, or just plain stupid, he or she may come to be assuaged that ALL GLOs behave in this manner. It negates the positives that GLOs have contributed to American society and beyond. I would like to say that people are not that stupid; unfortunately, however, many are.

Be honest here, would you tune in for an hour one night a week to a program that showed nothing but sororities cleaning up highways, volunteering at soup kitchens, and holding various fundraisers? Do you think anyone else would?

What exactly do bodies have to do with draped sheets? To be perfectly honest, I have not seen too many people--even those who are super buff--who look fabulous in a sheet. ;)

No one actually wears sheets to toga parties. At least not the girls. You go to a fabric store and buy some cute fabric.

I most likely wouldn't tune in anyway, but I don't particularly think it should be ALL about negativity, either. The best shows on television don't all have to be like Jerry Springer, do they? I'm just getting sick of people assuming that because I am in a sorority that I must be ALL about drinking or partying just because of what they have seen on tv. To be perfectly honest, I'm getting kind of sick of people getting all of their information about the world from trashy television, MySpace, and YouTube though, so I guess I'm jaded.

Because there is a HUGE difference between a large piece of fabric one puts on a bed and a gigantic piece of material one buys from a fabric store. Unless you are having your "toga" taylor-made, I doubt it makes that much of a difference.

Uh, this is a TV SHOW. Do you understand that ANY publicity is good publicity for them? The more people they get to watch it, the more advertising $ they can get.

Have you seen the show? No. So how do you know it's "ALL about negativity?" :confused:

If any of your friends are crafty, you ask them for help and it can look good. ;)
