Questions for Sigma AEPi and UCD Greeks re: Sorority Life

[aephi alum]

Several folks at UC Davis have offered to answer questions about the Sorority Life show, Sigma AEPi, and the greek system at UC Davis. I'm starting this thread as a (civil!) place where such questions can be asked, and hopefully answered by people in the know. I'm sure MTV is only showing about 1% of what actually went on during this past spring.

I'll start things off.....

We've seen a lot of "questionable" behavior on the part of some of the new members - for example, 4 of the new members drinking alcohol in the house, Candace shirking her sober sister duties, Sylvia slapping Jessica, etc. Were these people reprimanded at the time? If they weren't caught at the time, were they reprimanded once their violation of the rules was shown on MTV?

Exactly how much choice did the new members have as to whether to participate in NM activities such as the rocks-moving or the NM retreat? Did they get points for participating, lose points for not participating, was it just a fun activity, or what? (Some GC'ers have called these things hazing, hence the question.)

We've seen the "all pledges living in the house except Jessica are in trouble" meeting. Were any of them, besides Jordan, spoken to in advance about their questionable behavior, or were the point deductions a surprise?

In light of the events seen on the show, has Sigma AEPi considered setting up a standards board?

How did the filming affect other GLO's on the UC Davis campus?
