Exactly!!! What was the girl's name that walked into the room when the dean of pledges was talking to Michelle? Whatever her name is...she was wrong for disrespecting the dean like that. I would not have been pleased at all!

Was she the one that refused to share the vehicle?? HTH is she unwilling to share something that she DID NOT PAY FOR? She shouldn't be allowed to use it for a while until she realizes her mistake. :mad: :mad:

You saw how she just TOOK the car and didnt even sign it out!! ANd for her to be so mouthy to the camera, she was sure quiet when Salina, Janelle and Safiah (sp?) confronted her...and then she had the nerve to say "I see how they really are"!! HELLO, if you act like an ass, dont get mad when people distance themselves from you.. lol

I know!!!! She sure did say that she know the "real" them! Does she understand that she's the flaky one, not them?

all the drama was unnecessary. Michelle should have been banned from driving the cars, period. her disrespecting her sisters should bring her down a peg. Janelle and her actions, umm... she was wrong as well. to think that madness filled a 1/2 hour. i got nothing from it:confused:
now FL2, if anyone watched it, was over the top in a negative way. the kidnapping was ugly and violent. that brother could have chocked on his "upchuck", for ex. i see why the pledge dropped. that is not the group to be a part of...

Why does Michelle always sit there like a bump on a log?? Ooooh she is irritating. How can she feel like she doesn't have to share the car when it's not even hers in the first place? Janelle is on the mouthy side too. Michelle and Val were not even talking about her for her to just bust up in the room. Wow. And fraternity life...DOC doesn't do anything for me. They all seem immature and they really aren't all that cute. They need to bring back Paul and Alex from FL1. :)

I agree with everyone when I say that Michelle is a piece of work. First of all, her leadership skills are awful. From the very beginning when she chose to be "pledge captain", she was terrible...e.g. Making up her face when no one wanted to kneel to present the gifts. What did she expect? As a leader, she needs to accept that not everyone is going to agree with everything she says, does, suggest, etc. The situation with the car.....I feel that if I was a sister, I would have stripped Michelle of her duty as "pledge captain". The purpose of the cars is to share them with the roomates. If she can't do that as "pledge captain", then just imagine what other mess she is capable of doing. Plus, how can she say that she really knows them now. Oh please!! I am glad, though, that the other girls confronted her with whatever is going instead of talking behind her back.
As for Janelle, she's crazy.

For FL2, I was sad to see Joel go, but I understand why he left. Eventhough I do feel that he would be a good influence on the other brothers and pledges.

I agree with everything said about our girl Michelle. She has some serious issues...and she is very spoiled!!! You need to learn to share!!! Matter of fact, I will need for you to pledge later on. She is clearly not ready to join the sorority right now. That was way too much strife for me.

That was Janelle that was straight disrespecting her Dean, my mouth just dropped open at that! However Val was not havin it...glad she checked Janelle on that. Shoot I like Val. She does not take any crap off of these girls. She needs to keep it up.

Meena is still gettin on my nerves. Did anyone catch that comment she made, "If I wasn't living here with you guys, please believe you wouldn't see me" HELLO!!!??? Again why are you pledging...and what kind of a sister/soror would you make if you crossed? Not a very good one :rolleyes:

I didn't see all of FL2 but I'm not surprised that somebody has dropped already. I don't like FL2 as much as I did the first one. Bring back the Sigma Chi Omega Party Bus!!!! :D

I just wanted it to be said again :D

For SOME reason those dudes think they're pimps. Please let them realize that their 15 minutes have offivially reached the halfway point, and after that noooo one will care.

Speaking of pimps on FL2, I don't understand why they give Slater all these props. HE IS...AND I REPEAT....HE IS NOT ALL THAT. I took a real good look at him on last night's episode and I totally screwed up my face. Oh please!!!

One more thing, I really hope someone puts the little Freshmen pledge on FL2 in check....I don't remember his name, but he is the one who is the pledge class's secretary who DEMANDS respect :rolleyes: . (and I hope they do it soon).

For all those who saw the preview for next week's episode, did you see him punching the walls?

Oh Boy!!

Robbie is the guy on FL2. I can't stand him or Jon, the guy he's beefing with.

Meena is a trip. I caught that little comment too. I don't think that she'll be around too much longer. Please believe that she wouldn't make past day 1 as an interest in a D9 org. And the nerve of her to be talking last week about the lifetime committment in D9 orgs. She ain't even knowin'.

LOL at "she ain't even knowin"

But you are absolutely correct. I don't think she'll be there very long...provided the scenes for next week!

Yeah, he's off the chain! Did y'all see him beating the walls outside with his bare hands?! Like what's wrong with this dude? Something about those dang on freshmen.

Prayerfull...I'm feeling you about what you said about Meena. A lot of those girls wouldn't be able to make it through.

Every time I watch this show it gets my pressure up. One thing I can say is that I honestly like Val so far. She sets them straight with out hesitation. I wonder if she ever considered a D9 organization? As far as these pledges.... some of them need a better straightening!

Meena... Just leave. You obviously don't want to be there. If you are there for the cameras...they are not on you. You have no idea about a commitment. Q: 3 dance teams? 3? What is the difference between them?

Michelle.... The only she will get it is if someone slaps into her. She definitely doesn't need to be pledge captain. And if they take that from her then maybe she'll be able to see that her "Her way or the highway" attitude doesn't work with a sorority. She a child.

Janelle... once she said she was "out"... I would have said, " Cool... just make sure you leave the room the way you found it" I wouldn't even have wasted my breath on her...

They're gonna de-pledge Meena, can they PLEASE de-pledge Michelle, as well? THE CAR IS NOT HERS! Why can't she get that through her head???? Sharing is elementary, but in a sorority it is FUNDAMENTAL! They need to chunk her the deuce!

I believe tonite is the night that Meena gets DA BOOT! :D

My thoughts
 

~I am sorry but Michelle is DEAD WRONG for how she is acting, especially about that car. I understand that she is the only one without a car, but she is being TOTALLY inconsiderate - she has no respect for the "car checkout system", she never calls if she is going to be late, plus she keeps the Land Rover ALL day! And then has the nerve to wonder why all the other pledges are mad at her. Granted she is the only one without a car, but shoot, if my car was a '88 Ols and I have access to a Land Rover, guess what - I'm going to want to roll the Land Rover! *lol*

~I am SO GLAD that Meena is out of there. I was obvious that she was not there for the sisterhood. I thought it was funny how her own Big Sis didn't like her.

~I just love Val - she does not mess around. When Janelle busted into the room with Val and Michelles saying stuff like " I am not going to sit here while y'all talk behind my back", Vall looked like she was about to seriously break out a can of whoop a$$ on Janelle. Go Val! She is straight about handling bizz-ness :D

Re: My thoughts
 

Meena is stretching herself entirely too thin and didn't make any efforts towards the sorority at all. How can she miss EVERY SINGLE ACTIVITY? Is it necessary for her to make it to every single dance performance, and therefore putting the sorority on the back-burner?? The actives like her, but just feel that she isn't putting her all when it comes to pledging. She lacks time management/multi-tasking skills. Which leads me to the next point:

Why is she pledging when she knows that she will be attending NYU the following semester??? Is there a chapter in NY that she could affiliate herself with (probably too late since she's been de-pledged)??

Oh well, I guess she got the 15 minutes of fame that she wanted....

Melissa - RUDE, UNCONSIDERATE AND CLUELESS AS ALL GET OUT!!! That's all I have to say about the poor child. The expressions on the pledge mom's (Val?) face were priceless. I was CTHU @her - she ain't no joke.

Re: My thoughts
 

Meena's not completely gone just yet. On the previews for next week's episode, they show her pledge sisters joining together and supporting Meena to stay as a pledge and then they show Meena making her final pleas. I hope the active sisters of this sorority don't go back and change their decision. I guess we'll get the full scoop on next week's episode.

Oh my goodness that was a good episode! Meena shows no interest in the the sorority, and she does deserve to get dropped. I don't know how it's going to work after seeing all of her line sisters crying and stuff. I heard the pretty girl (I can never think of her name) say that this isn't what sisterhood is about, BUT how is Meena being sisterly?! You gotta think!

I love Val's character. She's not too chipper and not too mean. She's about business and I love that. Michelle is like totally clueless!

Can't wait for next week's show!

Michelle had me :mad: :eek: :confused: :mad: when she showed up late to pick up Val. I was on the phone and saw the thing on the screen "Michelle is over an hour late picking up Val". so I didnt hear what she said, per se, but the look on Val's face was enough. Classic. WHAT is Michelle's problem? What the f is so hard about sharing?

Meena, uh, no comment. I want to see what happens.
PS: none of her behavior would pass in one of the Fab Four, sorry. Someone would have chewed her up and spit out the pieces.. lol

Re: Re: My thoughts
 

1)The dance group they showed her with, there seemed to be at least 15 young women there. If she (Meena) had missed the performance, it wouldnt be like they(the dance group) would miss her.

2)Why would the sorority pledge a last semester student?? :confused:

B.c its like she said in the first episode. She had friends who pledged black sororities in their senior year and it didnt seem like they had any issues with pledging a senior.. :rolleyes:

Re: Re: Re: My thoughts
 

I said the same thing!

So yeah, Meena has to go. I just didn't appreciate how she was putting pledging on the back burner. And she's leaving ANYWAY to NYU...what was her point?? She didn't attend ANY of the sorority's events, she was always off to go do something else, was completely clueless about her Big Sisters (now if your Big Sister doesn't really feel you, trust that is a problem), etc. She needed to be dropped. Even if she wasn't going to another school, she would have ended up a t-shirt wearer through and through.

Again, I LOVE VAL. She is handlin' these girls. Love how she shut Michelle down :D and Michelle was STILL asking Val if she wanted to go out...:rolleyes: WTH?? I don't think she's gonna make it. If she wants to continue she has a lot of growing up to do.

Right, right I remember that but why did/would the SORORITY pledge her knowing that she is a last semester SR.? Sounds kinda SHADY to me!:rolleyes:

That is the thing that doesn't add up to me. It is not like she could be around to contribute to the chapter after she crosses, so what's the point?

Exactly. This group is local. They don't have a chapter anywhere else. It's not as though she is joining Xi Rho Chapter of SGRho @ UC Riverside then graduate, move to New York and hook up with our Kappa Sigma Grad chapter. There's no continuation. It's just a one time thing--"Join in college and that's it" attitude (that's what I get from this so far)

Even with the "join in college and that's it" mentality, how much longer would she even be an undergraduate student? A month? Two or three weeks? I have seen instances where graduating seniors have joined NPHC orgs, but there were usually circumstances involved(chapter just coming off of suspension, etc.). I don't know too many BGLO chapters that would be okay with someone coming in if they knew up front that they would be leaving town immediately afterwards. Even though that person could easily transfer into a graduate chapter elsewhere, we all know that does not always happen regardless of what year the person was initiated.

Do the potential "pledges" know about their org. of choice being selected for the show prior to Rush? I mean, if they know that XYZ is going to be on TV, I am sure that would encourage people like Meena to give herself and her various dance groups free airtime and advertisement. But, if they find out after expressing interest and participlating in various other events, that would give the org. and indication of who may be serious about their pursuit.

MTV influence
 

It's funny that you mention that RedefinedDiva,

It was said that the sorority put MTV all over thier rush flyers, so all ladies attending their rush were WELL AWARE of the cameras and hype of MTV. If you look at the previews for the next episode, the alumnus/founder that speaks to Ms. Meena tells her that to the ladies of the sorority it looked as if Meena was only their for the cameras and MTV!

Wonder what Meena has to say to that :confused: :confused: :confused: !

WHOA! DId y'all watch the episode tonite? Dag!! :eek: Why was I CTFU when the Founder asked the plede call who didn't live in the house "who in here feels close to Meena"

***silence****crickets chirping****]

I was CTFU even more when they gave Meena a day :eek: to move out!

Dag ZSP ain't playing!:D

OK-- I am not a Meena fan but

SHE IS GOING TO Harvard Medical SCHOOL!!!

I would have packed my stuff and left

The truth is after she graduates from HARVARD people will be beating down her door..

:rolleyes:

I know. That's why I don't understand why she was still hanging around the pledge house (or even pledgin period for that matter - I don't think there are other chapters of this sorority anywhere, so it's not like she could transfer to a chapter out east).

I dunno. It still confirms my first thought that she was just there for "air time".

while the actives were talking to Meena, the alumni said that it had been rumored that Meena had told people that she was only there because of MTV. I kind of agree that they should have warned her first, but I also agree that they can't take the chance on letting her in on sorority secrets if they don't trust her.

A bit harsh but........
 

Even losers can get into Harvard. I don't think because she got accepted there makes her a great person destined to do great things. I wouldn't allow someone who obviously has other priorities or motives to continue on because they are going to an ivy league school. She has impressed Harvard and the other pledges, but not the members and that's what counts.

I don't think its a big deal that they allowed someone who is grqaduating pledge. I pledged the last semester at my undergrad BUT my Big Sisiters and everyone knew where my heart was and that I was gonna transfer to the local graduate chapter and I am still VERY active today.

BUT Meena.....come on now, in 4 weeks she couldn't make it to anything????? The socials, I can maybe understand, but the community service? No way! She had to go becasue she wasn't there for the right reasons and it wasn't a priority.

But I will have to say that the ladies in the house have formed and incredible bond which is part of the process. So I'm priud of them for coming to the aid of their "sister".

By the way, I don't think Lynnese liked Meena from jump so she was Meena was doomed from the start.

I dont think Lynnise liked Meena either, but it was still wrong of them to just vote to depledge her and not warn her. I can see both sides of it. I agree with Meena that calling her at 2:30am and telling her to be out was rude. They could have told her that at the meeting.

I CTFU too when the actives asked the pledges the question and were met with silence..

Hijack: did anyone watch Camp Jim?
end hijack

I wonder what will happen next.. :)

I feel that it was rather gully the way the members delt with Meena, but oh well. After hearing all the stuff she was saying like 'if I wasn't living in the house, best believe no body would have seen me'--or something to that affect. Why join? I am happy to see that she got into Harvard and that she just be her main focus right now. So depledging her may actually be a good thing for her.

It was nice to see that the other pledges--well those who live in the house that is--came to her defense. I feel that is what sisterhood is about, but let's not forget that there are more pledges than those in the house. If Meena has not gone to any events, then how did she expect to bond with the other pledges and the actives? The "house" pledges were basically looking at it from their own view, but they really needed to look at the views of the actives. I am sure that if they were the actives' view, they would have agreed. I feel that Meena had no consideration for the organization from jump: She left early on the pledges' first meeting.:rolleyes: Come on. Another thing that bothered me was eventhough she didn't make it to most of...OK ALL of the events, she should have at least called the actives to first apologize for not coming and get some feedback on the event. Obviously, she didn't do that.

P.S. Sorry for the long reply ;)
