NPC and NPHC sororities were directed not to do it from headquarters. I didn't watch it, but I plan on seeing some of the shows.
Exactly, this is not the "other half" this is the "local half". At least NPC sororities have rules and show some discretion. If you look in the "Greek Life" section, the discussion on this show has been going on for some time now. Talk of how many NPC Sororities were contacted and couldn't respond nor did they want to. There is a link somewhere to the Sororities website (the one on MTV) and their reasons for why they wanted to take part in this show. They also explain how they don't want to alienate the national sororities or be thought less of for taking part in this show. They are looking for exposure. The same things go on with the locals at my school. They will wear their letters to the bar and anywhere else you can think of that will give them exposure. They wanted to put all of our letters on shot glasses to give out to new students in the fall, it was the NPHC and IFC organizations who disagreed, all of the locals thought it was "cute". The IFC and NPHC organizations don't behave in this manner. I have too many other local greek horor stories. The biggest problem for the NPC sororities is that they are worried people will confuse this jewish sorority for an NPC or what we call "WGLO". People have already begun grouping the 2 together so I can't blame them for being worried. I doubt MTV will take the time to explain the difference between "Nationals" and "Locals". NPC sororities aren't even allowed to drink alcohol at Rush parties.
