that we do NOT all freak with our sisters at clubs
that we do NOT speak about our sisters the way those disrespectful new members do
gosh....i work at a camp and all of my junior counselors are in high school or going into college....they ALL come to me and say "i can't believe you were in a sorority...my mom watched it and said she would never allow me to join one...i didn't know you had to be jewish to get in...i can't believe they talk about each other the way they do...." i could go on and on and on about what they think about sorority life.
this show is disgusting. i'm really glad they are getting the negative reaction that they are...they are disillusioning so many young women thinking about college life.
young girls don't have anything to compare real sorority life with. they don't know that this show is a crackpot unless someone like me tells them.
so bash away...

I was going to reply...but this post says it all. I can't tell you how many high school girls I've talked to who are afraid to Rush now because they think this is what sorority life is like...
My sorority (I'm an alumnae now) was nothing like this. And no, I'm not in an NPC sorority. We have depledged girls for acting in much less ridiculous ways than these girls on MTV do, and we have taken away letters from actives for the same reasons.
I can't wait to hear the comments at my class reunion this summer when they find out I am in a sorority. (I'm one of the few from my HS that went to college). Just. Can't. Wait.
