I agree..

Many Greeks fight a great deal of stereotypes. The point of my argument is whether they are National or Local, who knows that. I wouldn't have known that if I were not greek. These shows are hurting everyone. The Sigma's may be the nicest girls in the world, but to be brutually honest, they make sorority girls look like snobby bitches. This is one of the biggest stereotypes that all greek women have been trying to overcome. In that episode I caught today, one of the girls commented on having to pay to hang out with these girls or something similiar. That is another problem for Greeks; that we are paying for our friends. No one is blaming Locals as a whole, or at least I'm not. I am blaming these groups that had no more sense than to put themselves out there to be subjected to the "creative editing" of MTV. Now we as Greeks have even more to overcome.

I can say that I know that many greek organizations are facing declining numbers. This show is not helping our cause. If I were an upcoming college freshman, watching this show, I would not want to pledge. For someone that knows nothing about Nationals, Locals, greek life as a whole, and college life this is true life to them.

These shows are hurting an already struggling Greek life.
