I agree with you Christin! I was excited when I heard about Sorority Life, because I expected to see women who were having a great experience like me!
Call me naive, but I thought there would be more emphasis on the sorority. What we are really seeing on the show though is just a bunch of girls that just so happen to be in a sorority together. It is rare on the show that we actually SEE anything that separates this group from anything other than a bunch of college girls picked out of a crowd with the exception of the weekly blurb from the pledge meeting and perhaps a bonding experience (of course MTV chooses to show when Jessica's trust fall goes arwy or the pledges ranting about moving rocks). Nothing that I feel is important about a sorority is even mentioned half the time and the women (with the exception of the president Leah - I think she's lovely ) seem like they're not even having a good time.
I think that is what worries me the most about Sorority Life. Not that it shows drinking, or bumping-and-grinding, or backstabing - because if you want to admit it or not, every sorority, fraternity or group has people that do those things. It's college, for goodness sake! What worries me more is that none of the girls seem happy with the experience. Why would a PNM want to join a sorority if she thought it would just be a big, disappointing hassle? I certainly wouldn't. But that's just my opinion.
As for Zuma and the other members (or "insiders") of Sigma, I think they have had more than their share of bashing from people at GreekChat already. Nobody's asking them to post here, and personally, I like their "insider" point of view. Let's play nice so they'll stick around.
