And it's a SOLO cup for the love of all that is Greek...

That may be the best Dixie cup ever.

I wonder if SOLO's getting any royalties from using their products to market this new show?

Or are they not just because the word 'SOLO' isn't visible even though we know that that's a SOLO cup?

I was just about to say....wasn't there already a thread about this? :)

On an unrelated topic, Solo cups are made in Conyers, Ga.:D

I know, I enjoy it!

It really irritates me when they spell it GRSSK.

WTF is GRSSK?

Don't get me started on people who write "AEA" when there's no Greek font. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I went to a SK COB event before I pledged ASA, and there was a girl wearing a shirt with iron-on "EK" letters...

It happens when you drink from a (not) Solo cup on national television. Drunk typimgg 4 teh wyneo!

*facepalm*

I can only hope it was a shirt from a parent who didn't know better...

But even HQ does it! RESPSKT

I know I know. But at least that's inserting our letters where EK is removing them!

I just watched the preview - please say this is a fake/spoof.

I have yet to see GLO's shown in any "good/nice" form in the media. Even when members are involved. Years ago I saw a skit on SNL that made me call both NBC and National. Was not until later I found out that a Brother SAE was in the skit.

My god you're pathetic.

You don't even know how to commit stealth marketing the right way.

WTF is a pocker? Pocker? Focker?

porker?

i just saw the preview. i think i'm going to be ill. and the sad thing is that people will see this and believe that is what greek life is. that all we do and our whole lives revolve around the chapter. not like we have jobs, significant others, or do really crazy things like go to school and do homework.

Am I the only one who might actually watch this show? :o

You mean 'PLEDGED' isn't for real? Sororoties aren't all about the parties and kegs and stuffs?

I so don't want to join a sorority now!

New Solo cups
 

Hey, Solo has improved their cups by including a handy new hand grip!

for people who can't hold their liquor?

ba-da boom! *waits for GCers to throw tomatoes*

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

that's priceless! no tomatoes from me :) jeresey tomatoes are too good to throw......

I'm always the straight man . . .:D

If I'm going to be honest...no.

*ducking and running for cover*

*raises hand reluctantly* yeah i'll check out the pilot... and then i'll run to GC and trash it. its the only way.

i'll watch and secretly find it entertaining but log on here and bash it to cover up my guilty pleasure.

Haha, that's just what I was thinking. I just took the "virtual rush" quiz on the show's website and got ZBZ, the "hottest" sorority. Heh.

I was the "rush against greeks" or whatever it was called, which (I'm betting) is what 90% of the people on here would get.

I did too.

I didn't know I was so cool. Dang.

I got Tau Kappa Gamma. I can't figure out if it's supposed to be a sorority or a fraternity. Their descriptions are really ambiguous.

I'd love an actual greek to win the walk-on role and then go bust some heads about the stereotypes they're perpetuating with this shit.

I honestly see this show going the same way as the one on TNT about being a paramedic. That one was total shit, misrepresented the industry and the writing was horrific. They didn't even finish out the whole season because the ratings were so low.

Yeah I think it's who has the most friends and then there's going to be video contests...I guess like the new Real World. I went and friended everyone on there. (I'm super bored).

There do seem to be a lot of Greeks. I saw GSS, AXD, PBPhi and I think a DG.

ok so i kindasortamaybe signed up for virtual rush... but it's dumb - i dont get what im supposed to do after i get in my "house"...

I got Omega Chi Delta

So here you are pledge, Omega Chi. Let's just go through a few quick facts: The fraternal brotherhood only makes up about 2 percent of the university population, but 43 CEO's of the top 50 US Companies, and all but 3 US Presidents were part of a fraternity, and you can bet that most of them were Omega Chis. Welcome to the premier organization on campus, where with over 200 years of tradition, membership is guaranteed to get you a legacy. *winks*

ETA: Ok, I REALLY don't like the option they have of: "Leave Omega Chi and Rush another house"...

I signed up, and played around on it for a while. Once I realized that all you could do after joining your "house" was "dig" or "diss" other members, I got bored with it. Overall, it's kinda lame, but I doubt it's the big deal that people seem to be making of it.

I got Zeta Beta Zeta, and I signed up but it is rather lame...

1. should it read "a legacy is guaranteed to get you membership?"
2. yeah seriously, i dont understand how you can "rush" one house and then "join" another... especially when the "rushing" consists of a horrible quiz.

well, see, so did i... but really you could get ANY org, even the "clubs" that really aren't orgs...

OMGZ THIS ISH IS TEH LAME!!!1111

No, I really think they meant it the other way - as in, guaranteed to get you a husband/wife and children. I think...

LOL...agreed.
