I'm sure you'd like to think that every national organization in every state would want nothing to do with this kind of opportunity, but let's step into reality for a sec and realize the inevitable. They would have found someone sooner or later who agreed to their terms. LISTEN TO DELTALUM and don't point fingers at Sigma.

You asked in an earlier post if I really believed that my national sorority would have turned down the show if National hadn't stepped in. I spoke for MY organization, not anyone else's, when I said that Delta Zeta wouldn't have had any part of it. So, I wasn't talking about "every single organization." I was only referring to Delta Zeta. Just wanted to make that clear.
However, like I said earlier, I really hope that I'm wrong about the show and that things turn out well for Sigma and the rest of the Greeks who are going to be affected by the series. I'm certainly not wishing Sigma ill when I voice my opposition to the show on this thread. I'm just questioning the initial decision to participate in general.
As a sidenote: I brought the show up in conversation with one of my sisters yesterday as we were leaving an alumnae meeting. I only got as far as "MTV is doing a real-life documentary on sororities..." before she cut me off with a sarcastic "Oh greeeeeeat. This is going to do wonders for Greek stereotypes."
She hadn't heard anything about the show, so I gave her a basic summary of the idea behind the series. In the end, all she said was that she was just thankful that DZ's name wasn't on it, and that she was dreading Rush this year because she knows we'll be dealing with the fallout if the show is negative. That's basically how I feel as well.
