I watch the show because I find it interesting to watch how another organization that is similar to ours functions. For all I know, Chi Delta could have been Sigma 10 years ago when WE first started. They are still new to the scene and have probably never had to deal with this type of pressure. It's a learning experience for everyone. All they can say is that they made a mistake and hopefully we can help prevent other locals from making similar mistakes, instead of just criticizing them and not worrying about Local ABC who is actually considering MTV to help them out. (If you can, check out Sigma Lambda Epsilon's website... I think that is the name of the sorority.)
And I hate how NPC members get all freaked out when they start showing pledge house scenes and wonder if their potential recruits are going to be sooooo influenced by the show, they are gonna think we all have pledge houses, we all drink and party, blah blah blah... WILL YOU GIVE PNMS SOME FREAKIN' CREDIT???? They probably aren't as naive as you all are making them appear. I wanna know what girls are worried about pnms asking them about pledge houses when their active chapter doesn't even own a house themselves. In our case, about 2 sororities have "unofficial houses" that are located somewhere downtown. I don't think anyone should have to worry about PNMs asking that question.
And if the show is that offensive to you... just stop watching. It will only make you more upset, will have you sign this board complaining how it made you upset and then you look like the snob because you want to prove to everyone that your sorority is NOTHING like that. Please... some people already admitted to bumping into glass doors while plastered so don't say Sigma is nothing like you.
IMO, i think more girls will come out to recruitment just to see what MTV lied about. We'll see in the fall.
