The point, though, is that the sorority didn't necessarly make the show disgusting -- MTV (and the producers) did.
Unless you are in on the editing, there is absolutely no way to know how much is taken out of context. We may never know if MTV "placed" some of the women to add to the conflict.
The chapter was very naieve in thinking they would get a fair representation. That makes them dumb (at least in the case of "reality" TV), it doesn't make them bad.
They made a really bad decision. Nothing is gained by rubbing their noses in it. People will do that for years to come. No reason for us to add to their burden.
