Mullvaneys
 

In Carol Oats book We were the Mulvaneys she metnions other sororities, and how in a sense slutty they were. I can't remember which one she said but I remember thinking wow! we have them at my school and that is so far from the truth!

Jessica joins the fictional "Theta Alpha Theta" (known as the Thetas) and Elizabeth doesn't join a sorority. However, I think I remember the name Pi Beta Phi being used for one of the other sororities in the series.

I thought Elizabeth joined the sorority full of hippies and tree-huggers. I remember she had a good time at their Recruitment parties at least.

I believe Pi Beta Phi was the tree-hugging sorority . . . and I don't think Elizabeth joined -- she liked them best out of all the sororities, but she was only rushing because Jessica made her.

I think this subject has been brought up on the board before so if you're really curious you could do a search -- I bet somebody else has more information on it than I do.

:D First of all, I am glad that there are others out there who see the Lifetime (PMS Channel according to my son, a Delt) as pathetic!
Second, sororities are spotlighted because they represent for better or worse, an ideal or a goal for so many young women in college. A GLO is thought of as an integral part of campus life, even if you are not part of one.
You never see a movie where Mortar Board is the nucleus of the plot.
Go figure...!

That sounds like a LOT of fun!!

Re: Mullvaneys
 

I agree about Lifetime. Seems like no matter what movie I turn to it's "doom and gloom"!

Unfortunately, I have a city-owned utilities cable company which limits the channels I cannot get..like Oxygen and SoapNet!

There was a episode, sorry I can't remember what progam it was, but the member was charged with hurting her boyfriend by giving him drugs, turns out it was the athletic director??

During the middle, the sorority sisters dissed the member, but at the end, they realized that she was part of them and supported her. I was glad the way it turned out.

Hey AGDLYNN!
 

The movie you mention was a new released for TV Nancy Drew movie and it was filmed at my alma mater the great University of Southern California!! The ADPi house was the main house used although scenes outside of the Alpha Chi Omega house (which is across the street from the ADpi house) were shot too -- the movie was corny but had an okay ending -- the best part for me was seeing The Row -- my old home -- sigh!

Note to AGDLynn -- hope to see you at our next Panhel event at my house on 2/23!

As far as Oxygen, trust me, you're not missing anything. They play the same movies over and over and the talk shows are duller than dull. I want my Plex with cheesy 70's TV movies back.
