Am I pissed about this? YES - because just like with other things in life, I hate to see what I have worked hard for fall apart in a matter of minutes because SOMEBODY (in this case those who participated from Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi) made a POOR decision without thinking about the consequences! And WE all pay for those consequences. Nobody is going to watch this and say "oh, that's just the SAEPi's" -- nope, just like Mark Washburn did, it will be generalized to ALL sororities and greek life. Because this is what we have to deal with - media who wants the slant.
Anyone watch Survivor because you know that they are all going to be great friends and no one will get the boot? Hardly! You watch because you WANT to see the drama. Anybody go to see a movie because you heard it SUCKED and you want to watch people be nice to each other with no action? Yeah right!
Call me a bitch and call me rude if you want to - I've been called worse and here I am with MY opinion as always. I'm sorry, but I've worked too hard to see things fall apart on television in what we all knew was going to be the slanted view in the first place.
Hmmm...I know - let's all play "NICE" about this and pretend that nothing bad will come of it (not that we aren't already seeing the negative responses in the media!) Maybe if we all pretend really hard then we can all live in Fantasy Land!
(Side note...DeltAlum - I certainly wasn't calling you out - I just know that the other 3 million times we've discussed these issues, you have always said where it will lead. You have the most experience of anyone on these boards as far as media publications go, and you know what you're talking about. Unfortunately, some people STILL will not believe that crap stinks until they put their noses in it!!)
