Although MTV did a terrible job depicting GLO's on their series, I have seen some reality shows where Greeks were portrayed in a positive light. "Stranded with Cash Peters" on the Travel Channel showed an Alpha Gamma Rho chapter at a school that I can't recall at the moment. The brothers were hospitable and friendly and the show didn't force any kind of drama or embellishments of what greek life is supposed to be like.
Tyra Banks' show doesn't seem like it would exploit an organization for ratings like MTV did, but having her rush, or pledge, or whatever would look kind of silly for an entire show. I like PreppyGPhiB's comment about just showing one function that Banks could participate in, like a community service project. That would freakin rule.
