I'm sorry! I'm not trying to make into that at all. I have nothing against locals at all. The problem is that there are rules that must be followed when you have a national and right now I think that non greeks aren't going to understand that from what they're seeing on the show. When I was on the SEAPi site I read that letter from Mara the sister and I think that even the last paragraph would be good to put as a disclaimer.

From Mara the Sister's Letter
We hope that the Greek community at UC Davis as well as the viewers of the series will interpret "Sorority Life" to mean "life in a sorority" rather than "life in all sororities." If we are expected to represent every sorority in the Greek system, every student at UC Davis and every member of the Jewish community, then we have quite a job ahead of us. There is not one sorority or fraternity in the nation that could possibly epitomize everything it means to be Greek. Likewise, there is not one Jew who could show the world everything it means to be Jewish, and not a single UCD student who could summarize the experience of everyone who attends this school. So, while we have been and will continue doing our best to represent everyone, our only feasible option is to simply be ourselves.

The problem with only having this on their website is that only people who are willing to go look on it will know that this is how they are feeling. I just don't want everyone who sees this and who doesn't know anything about greek life to think that this show is really how it's like. As LeslieAGD said earlier, this first episode wasn't the trainwreck that she thought it was going to be, but that doesn't mean that it can't de-rail in the next episode or even the one after that.
