Sorority Life on MTV

i hope that MTV was not trying to make a good impression of Greek Life by doing this show, because they will not accomplish it. The girls who are currently in a sorority know that what they are doing is hazing, but that it's okay because they are not a national sorority, but those girls who may want to rush when they enter their college years, will have a very wrong impression of what we are all about. Some of the sisters are hypocrits by picking on Jordan (probably because they are jealous of how much prettier she is than the rest of the girls). Also I am not a fan of how the pledge class is broken up. It's a wonderful idea by MTV but the sisters are separate from the girls living in the pledge house, who in turn are separate from those pledges who are not living there. If anything should be divided, the least they could do is keep the pledge class together because they are all in the same state of membership. If anyone thinking of pledging reads this, please know that this is not the way that sorority life goes. Sororities are a great opportunity to bond with new people, instead of the show making it appear to look like we are all enemies with each other.

On the road of life there are friends and there are sisters.....
SISTERS WANTED!!!!!!!

Hey Chrissy! It's great to see you on GreekChat! I hope your summer is going well, as well as the new job in the "real world." I totally agree with you when you say that pledging is a completely different world than what MTV is showing. I hope that potential new members, for all sororities, will not be discouraged to join because of the aspects highlighted by MTV. Anyway, that's my opinion, and I will continue to watch the show simply because I want to see what the end result is. Hope to hear from you soon

Well its looking to be a Zeta Chi post going on here. Hi Jadey! Its Leslie. Me and Chrissy have watched the show every monday night together with Lisa and are just amazed with some of the things that they do. Lisa is also trying to get some ideas for nmo, as to what events to have. She is worried that she is going to get into to trouble by doing anything and that really sucks.

Hope everyone is having a great summer!!!
