This is really sad. Christin hit it on the head when she suggested that we really are a happy fun bunch. MTV doesnt want to show that

Zuma, my post wasn't intended to make light of Sigma AEPi as it is, but rather, as it is portrayed by MTV. What I know of your sorority is limited to your website and what I've seen on MTV. That is true of most of the people out there - including, I'm sure, many incoming Davis freshmen.
Did you honestly believe that MTV would show a "happy fun bunch" of women doing community service, studying together, and just hanging out, when they could show drinking, provocative dancing, pledges hooking up, etc.?
The few examples of sisterly behavior that I've seen on the show have been coupled with drama - e.g. Jessica's cockblock, intended to keep Sylvia safe, resulted in Sylvia's slapping her, and Candace signed up to be sober sister, but later decided to shirk her duties and get drunk. I'm sure you could show us many other examples of sisterly behavior among the sisters and pledges, that don't have associated drama, but they're probably on the cutting room floor.
And admit it... y'all did wear a LOT of Greek101 merchandise...
