Exclamation Wow!

I am a bit shocked by all I have read. Just so everyone knows, I am a local girl, so now you know my bias. But I have been reading thread after thread on GC and been loving all the total Greek Love that I have seen! I was overwhelmed at the support (though sprinkled with underlying bias for your orgs!) and group love. (inter)National orgs showed love to locals, and all shared love for each separate org within either category. Now I see all this straight up haterism, and it sucks. I am a religious viewer of the show, and on first glance I thought, wow, I am stoked to see what MTV has in store. I didn't really expect to get a quality look at Sorority life. That wouldn't get as amny viewers. After all, look at all of us on this site, thread after thread venting about the show. It has done it's job, truly.
As for everyone being so judgemental to Sigma, and even the idividuals on the show, I honestly think you need to step back and take a strong look at yourslef, and who you are in your org. When I watch the show, automatically, I have my "okay, I am watxhing MTV, so everything I see will be skewed and pprobably mis-protrayed. I never had a hateful thought about the women involved. I see way too much attepted justification of spite and negative energy here, with absolutely NO sign of solution.
Rather than hate the women of sigma (sorry SAEPi girls that you have been through SO much slandering by the way, my heart goes out to you all, I hope you stay strong!) try and talk about issues you all have as Greeks. Bitching, and dissing helps no one, and manisfests any neagtive energy that already existed.
Bring back Greek love and support. If we as GLOs wish to see stronger protrayals of Greek life, how about banding together and trying to make it so. If not to rectify the potential damage already done (to sigma, and other greeks alike) to prevent a ny future negativity. They are asking other orgs to be in MTVs next sorority life (my org included). We all need to work together, no t against each other to create a positive image. Okay, I am done rambling for days!
