Given the popularity of "reality" based shows plus this being on MTV, I am sure that there will be situations that are not sanctioned by their school's administration, HQ, ....

Are they a local "Greek" organization? That would explain how they are getting away with it... But will MTV show disclaimers that they are a local group and not under the auspices (did I spell that right?) of a national headquarters? Yeah, right!

This leads me to believe that MTV is willing to promote untrue sterotypes about what fraternities and sororities are like for publicity purposes and do not have to face the consequences. Greek life can be such a positive influence but hey, MTV would find it boring if they focused on positive things like high scholarship, leadership, philanthropy, community involvement, etc. Many of the viewers may not see a distinction between what locals can get away with and NPC/NIC Greeks can't/shouldn't.

I know what my IHQ's reaction if one of our chapters even said the letters MTV!
