Plus, yes everyone has to come to the realization that they HAVE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED THE WAY GREEKS ARE PRECEIVED!! Not that our rep was so much better before, but we were getting better. Now with these people doing this show (yea the producer of the show was Greek and he wanted to show positive Greek like...RIIIIIGHT) they have ruined everything. At my job, I work with a lot of different interns from all sorts of different schools. I am the only one who is Greek and after watching the show I think they almost think that I am like that. One of my co-workers who knows me really well is like your nothing like that I can't believe your in a sorority...and I am like ITS NOTHING LIKE THAT RETARTED SHOW! So to all of you guys who are like "stop making fun of them" wake up and smell the coffee that they have added EVEN MORE to people's negative preception of Greeks. That is the reason why we vent on the boards because we are fed up and mad that when fall rush comes around, numbers may drop. Yes no one is perfect but they were the only ones to go and air their imperfections on tv.

It is one thing to vent. It is something totally different to make catty comments that serve no other purpose than to expose insecurities and tear someone down to boost yourself up. I am not saying this particular post is an example, but some of the others I have seen certainly qualify.
Also, I say that if you are worried about losing potential members who have been influenced by an MTV show...then maybe you need to rethink who you recruit.
