Its pretty sad to see all the trash talking going back and forth on this site. I think I'm mostly upset by seeing people who are non-greek writing about how we are wrong to react the way we do. We haven't seen the show yet...and who knows, maybe it will be better than we all think...but we don't know that yet, and we have all the right in the world to be concerned! People watching this show are going to identifly all sororities and fraternities with it. It does not matter if we are not the same. That is a scary thought. The comments from the new members does sound like hazing! Does that mean it was? No, of course not. But do any of us know that for a fact? Of course MTV will play that up and make it look worse. That will make people think that all sororites and fraternities haze. I was not hazed, and to reply to Sigma...yes, if a fight occured that made me feel unwelcome, upset, unhappy, uncomfortable, etc, I would feel like I was be disrespected...which in turn could be hazing. Having new members is like bringing this wonderful new life to your chapter...why on earth would you want them to feel unwelcome or anything bad for that matter? I also don't agree with your statement about "knowing a person's character". No matter what you think you know, you are not a part of their group and you do not see what goes on on the inside. Anyone can tell you, A LOT happens on the inside. Things that are good and sometimes things that are not good. But we don't always go around telling everyone we know about our rituals, our fights, our disagreements, etc. Some things are left private. I'm not saying that the Sigma's hazed...that was not my point. But just because you know someones character does not mean you know what they are like all the time and when put into certain situations. Perhaps you should let the Sigma girls speak for themselves on such issues. Not that they would go saying that they hazed if that was the case Sigma Insider. You are so sad that things had to come to what? Us asking questions and discussing our opinions? I love reading what everyone has posted...good and bad. Some I agree with, some I don't. But isn't that the point of this board? For everyone to get their opinions out and discuss them? This happens to be a very important issue I think.
To all the other non-greeks complaining about any of us having opinions on the matter...although its interesting to hear your point...if you are going to sit there and bash us and say you would never join...why are you taking so much to read and comment back. This does not affect you.
