What's a real shame is that these groups volunteer to participate knowing full well what MTV can and will do to the limitless footage they get. After viewing two full seasons of SL and one of FL, these groups should know better. While it's frustrating to me that they may be portrayed in a negative light, it's their own fault. It may vary in degree from one new member being portrayed as "the bitchy/ugly/unwanted one" to the full-on instigation of near-criminal acts and in-house fights, I see no good things coming out of these shows for the groups that participate or for Greeks in general. (Besides some money, maybe...and how long will that last compared to the damage that could be done to their reputations?)

I totally agree. These groups have the last two seasons of the show to see how MTV really views greeks. If MTV though of Sororities and Fraternities in a positive light, they wouldn't portray the show the way they do. We in return are helping them keep their ratings by watching the show. I for one am not going to watch this season. The last two seasons just pissed me off and I don't feel like watching a show just to get angry. IF enough of us don't watch the show then maybe, just maybe ratings will go down and they'll stop making the show, but with society's need for reality television, that might not happen anytime soon. We're going to have to accept the show for what it is. We all know that what the show portrays is NOT what greek life is about and that's all that matters.
