But taking your comments a step beyond, I suspect that most nationals have chapters that they wouldn't want dealing with the MTV's of the world. If for no other reason, the MTV's of the world can pretty much make any chapter look bad through selective editing. But we all beat that horse when the first sorority show was produced.
Additionally, I would still say that most undergraduates don't have the background to deal with the media.
I understand your thought process, but I think it has a few flaws that could sink us deeper.

Well, you're thinking worst case, I'm thinking best case
For example, there was a special on the History Channel about fraternities. Our chapter at Ole Miss (I'd put it on par with any top chapter of any group in the country) was represented there. They taped and interviewed our members. There was also another fraternity taped in that show (the kid ended up going with them [the fool]). Both groups, however were excellent representations of what fraternities SHOULD be.
I can think of several chapters of my organization that I certainly would not want on that type of show though.
I think a "Fraternity Life" using our Ole Miss chapter on MTV would not only be a great show, it'd go a long ways towards putting our best foot forward.
