I say let the games begin.
Would it be really nice if MTV did this in a good light and am I hoping that they do...yes. But reality comes back and 60% of me thinks this is gonna hurt. I would have a better feeling if maybe this was going to be on NBC or something. MTV has done alot of good things (ie, telling the Matthew Shepard Story) but alot of it can be overdramatized stereotypical stuff too.
My thing is, is this sorority going to be ready for any consequences that may happen after the show appears? Neg. publicity, if they are on a Greek Body Council, possibly being excluded from it, and maybe just being snubbed and not taken seriously as individuals and a org as a whole, by the fraternitites and sororities at UC-Davis, but by the student body also? Is the price of "Fame" worth this?
Shultzz... I think National Orgs (whether NPHC,NIC or NPC) have their chapters fairly well under wrap. Obviously we know we're not perfect cuz yeah, you do hear about alot of tragic incidents that happen in different chapters. You always have to take the good with the bad. As far as having half our chapters being inactive, I dont think so. I think that most orgs have like 18-25% inactive, maybe a few more, which i think shows that they do keep usin check. Would it be good business for them to keep every chapter active with the bad ones running around and doing stuff they should being doing just to say, yeah we have every chapter active? Nope. Chapters are given a chance to straighten up, and if they dont, its sad but you have to go bye bye. Whether its from low numbers or bad incidents.
