From reading some of the other posts, it's just amazing that some Greek Gen Y and Gen Xers can still be so offended by the differences of this one sorority.
And I also have to note: After seeing only one episode, it's pretty sad that some people can decide this season sucks, or make such rude assumptions about a sorority they've never even heard of -- especially when MTV didn't even go into great depth about the active sisters or the sorority's history, etc. in episode one.
But it's pretty obvious that those mean comments only come from people with low self-esteem or more personal issues than the girls of Zeta Sigma Phi will ever have.

Oh brother, so much to say here (I'll keep it short)...
1) No, it's not a race thing. Please don't try to make it one.
2) MTV dropped the ball on this season. The reason many people claim it is boring after only one episode is because it was so rushed. There was no recruitment and no opportunity to "get to know" the members and pledges. We haven't been introduced to the girls, therefore we don't care about the girls, therefore it's boring.
3) I don't know if you're a lurker or if this is your first visit to GC, but if you'd seen the previous SL threads you'd understand that we critique the show as if it were any other television show. (In most cases) We're not knocking the GLO members, we're commenting on what we see and the "characters" that MTV creates.
