I understand your point. I know that not ALL locals are like that. It is also the way that MTV edits it. I'm just saying that they're local b/c National Fraternities and Sororities have National Headquarters that won't allow them to be portrayed badly on televison, nor can their rituals and pledging process be displayed. I know that with the past shows they didn't show their personal rituals but these sororites and fraternities that participated in the show didn't have a national headquarters behind them. yes, there ARE National groups that DO haze but b/c we have National Headquarters checking up on us we are a little more likely not to. There would serious consequences if a national were doing the show and there were scenes that showed signs of hazing. i.e. taking their chapter away or probation. If MTV shows any local orgnizations hazing there is no one to penalize them for their actions. I have nothing against them using locals but It is annoying that people associate ALL Greek organizations with the shows PERIOD! They are just edited for general entertainment, NOT to educate anyone.
Actually, as I mentioned in my earlier post, the Fraternity on FL2 has had their recognition as a campus organization revoked, and due to an incident that occured during filming, some members were arrested and may face expulsion. And bethany1982, I agree with you wholeheartedly.
