MTV backs ``Sorority'' documentary
By Melissa Grego

HOLLYWOOD (Variety) - MTV has pledged its support to a documentary-style series tentatively titled ``Sorority Life.''

The series would highlight the day-to-day life and drama of a sorority on a U.S. college campus. The sorority and campus have not been determined yet.

``We can't deny that things go on, things like hazing,'' creator Sergio Myers told Daily Variety. ``My position is to provide an opportunity to members to come forward and tell their sides of things. ... We really want to get in there and look at how a more than 100-year-old tradition has been somehow preserved.''

Myers, whose credits include several episodes of ``The E! True Hollywood Story'' and feature-length documentary ``Heaven's Gate: The Untold Story,'' will serve as executive producer with Catherine Finn, his partner in 7 Ponies Prods.

Myers and Finn also hope to produce a follow-up project focusing on a fraternity.
