I think its rather funny that sigma insider etc are saying that they didn't do it for the money, fame and that this won't hurt peoples impressions of greek life. That is the biggest BS statement i've heard in awhile!!! Ok lets take a look at this, you get new furniture and lord knows what else(on your webpage it even says you needed a way to boost chapter funds). You say hardly anyone knows who you were on campus and it was good exposure for you girls....this is the fame part. And i bet you that a large percentage of your new members now aren't jewish and your heritage that you appreciate and love will soon diminish within the next few years due to your lack of jewish sisters. There is nothing wrong with accepting people of different religious/cultural backgrounds, but when you choose girls based on their looks to boost your campus popularity, your ideals will soon fade away. After reading the sigma statements on here and your webpage it seems to me and others, that you did this for money, personal fame, boost your campus/party reputation on campus, and boost your numbers. Ya there are a lot of pros here in this whole situation...AND THEY ARE ALL PERSONAL PRO's...not for GLO's as a whole. I feel once the dollar signs from MTV got passed around in your chapters minds, your responsibilities to the greek community as a whole went out of the question. And if and when you see how bad this could become don't say "oh well its not our fault cause the big bad corporate MTV people tricked us." You decided what to do, you knew the risks and possible and likely outcomes. It is your fault. And about this whole GDI thing. Im not concerned nor should their be concern about the GDI's already in college. Its about the in-coming freshmen girls that just graduated high school who will be watching this...and in some cases with their parents. Yes im sure a vast majority will already be wanting to join because of fraternity parties etc, but do they REALLY need to see sister so and so, SO drunk and dancing on the bar, making out and going home with a guy....this on TV. Because im so sure that their parents will be like,"oh thats just a local sorority and those MTV people are so not showing all aspects of greek life hehe." GET REAL SIGMA'S!!!!! Most people both college age and adults see something on TV and think that 100% of it is true no matter what small percentage of it happens. They will believe it happens every night of the week and that all sorority girls are sororitutes and wouldn't want their daughter belonging to a "whorority." And if you think otherwise than you are the most naive and gullible person ever! Now yes I feel we should all watch the first few episodes to see what goes on, but comon, we all know whats going to be shown. Yes you could have logged hundreds of hours of community service, showing how great of a bond your sorority has etc, and three hours of drunken debauchory, but guess whats going to be shown girls...yes the drunken debauchory believe it or not. The only reason i intend to watch a few of the episodes is so in the fall when girls ask me if xyz sorority is like sorority life i know what they are talking about and can give them an acurate response and point out the fasalities the show presented. Other than that i really don't care about it. Sorry this is so long but its getting towards midnight and im rambling on so im off to bed. But seriously sigmas...don't say you think MTV will show a full aspect on sorority life..comon now think about what your saying here girls. I mean really think about what you girls are saying....MTV haha.
