I believe someone earlier said it best.... use this tv show as an opportunity for dialogue during rush or with some other event. People in general must now by now that TV is not the same as real life.

I myself love the commercials, especially with that southern lady. Her accent KILLS me especially when she pronounces the sorority's name.

I completely agree.

And it's not like "Sorority Life" has presented a one-hundred percent terrible version of real sorority life. The Sigmas, for example, showed MTV viewers that not all sorority girls are blond, beautiful, skinny and stuck-up -- there were plenty of brunette, average-looking and down-to-earth girls in that sorority. And if what Chloe said and the rumors about "Sorority Life 3" are true, it's awesome that they'll be showing a multicultural sorority on the show, which will help to dispel the rumors that the Greek system is racist/elitist/whatever.

I hate to break it to you guys, but the stereotypes MTV is perpetuating are already held to be true by most anti-Greeks. They already assume we drink all the time, haze, are promiscuous -- so the fact that MTV is showing them a show with the same theme doesn't mean much. And at the same time, we are getting some decent publicity out of it -- the viewers are also seeing that sorority girls are not cookie cutter and some of them are actually really nice, down-to-earth, cool girls.

Of course, I could retract that entire statement after this season -- we'll see.

I love the Southern lady too!
