because it wouldn't sell ... simple as that.

very similar to the MTV Sorority/Fraternity Life series... they edited the shows in a such a way to only show the cattiness/drama because that is what made people watch. If each entire episode showed them doing nothing but philanthropy and/or sisterhood events, people wouldn't have watched it for very long. It is basically like a train wreck... even though you know it's bad, you can't help but watch.

Question for the NPHC GLO members: If a "reporter" (Note: I am using that term very loosely here) came to your GLOs and asked questions as she claimed to have done with NPC sororities, are your members allowed to speak to them?

I know with my sorority, no members are allowed to speak to the press concerning our chapter. Only our chapter president or the national office can do that. In that Today SHow interview yesterday she sounded all dramatic that in the beginning no members of the sororities would speak with her so she sounded so convinced everyone was trying to "cover up"
