i do understand what you are saying. i empathize and i even relate and feel the same way- to a point. my main objection, however, is that they knew that they would be on national television with their "dirty laundry" (LOVE that termonology actually
) and they chose to go ahead and film the show anyway. Yes, it is true, MTV is conniving, BUT they had the benefit of past reality shows such as real world and road rules to know that MTV twists and distorts everything, and will always show the controversial parts to the best of their ability. Hell, i'm not gonna lie, MTV probably made it seem 10,000x worse than it was. BUT they still chose to be on that show... but i'm rambling here.
Moving on, i really do believe the statement "no matter the letter, we are all greek together". It is true, we the minority and must bond together, but that is why the community balked at the idea that some of our own would do this MTV show, thus giving MTV the oppurtunity to give greeks (specifically SORORITIES) a WORSE name when we were *just* starting to rise above the stereotypes... I can't even tell you how many times i have heard "so in your sorority do you guys all dance like those two on that mtv show did at the club? they were all over each other" or "so no pledges takes those rules seriously when they say no drinking, huh?". Alot of us ARE serious, and do not wish for the stereotype to be forced upon us.
so in summary i do understand both sides. It's a tough situation and no matter what the girls of sigma *will* take some flack for it. They do have to be admired for holding up as well as they have, however. Cross you fingers for the rest of the season!
