Although I did not see the show, one of my fellow Sigma Xi's told me about it. Yes, the whole concept is cheesy. Sorry, but is nothing sacred?
From my understanding, underneath the cliches, they addressed an important issue in the first installment. "To be more exclusive or not?" I know that my chapter went through that whole mess. It was interesting to hear about how another GLO dealt with the quality/quantity issue.
Have any of you checked out the section about the show on the MTV website? When I looked at some of the "pledges" profiles, I noticed that many of them were not the typical 18 y/o new member. That's kind of cool......
Last but not least......could you imagine MTV being at your chapter during recruitment??!!
