Frat hazing gameshow

Frat Hazing Game Show Comes To TV

LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) -- Sorority and fraternity hazing could be the next TV rage.

The Game Show Network is launching a new four-episode series called "National Lampoon's Greek Games" in which teams perform messy and embarrassing physical challenges.

Host George Gray -- who used to host of "The Weakest Link --" calls the show "an excuse for girls to wiggle in corn syrup."

Besides the "Gooey Ten-Yard Dash" through three inches of corn syrup, there's the "Geek Distance Throw" where the team throws a bookish character as far as possible into water and "Human Baklava" where contestants stuff bread down their pants.

The job is a second chance for Gray, who missed out on the frat fun in his younger days. He says he joined an academic fraternity for lawyers, and quickly found out he had nothing in common with them at all.

The reward for the winning fraternity and sorority is a free trip to the Greek island of Mykonos.

Did anyone see the show yet?

I'm surprised this isn't on MTV. It seems right up their alley.

I highly doubt this will involve NPC, NPHC or IFC organizations.

Sad yes, But i've seen it. And they're not real sororities at all. There are sororities like Hot, Goth, and like stereotypical frats, plus others like Nerd frats and such. It's honestly dumb, I could only watch like 10 minutes of it. The show I watched had chariot racing with the frats, and 1 guy was up in the chariot shooting (i dont even remember what it was) at the other frats knocking them down, they were being carried by other members. It also included a very rough few rounds of musical chairs in the pool, using floats but basically you could kill the girl or rip her top off for the float. Thats when I turned it off..

Extremely obnxious and I hope everyone who sees it and isn't in a sorority knows its all fake!! I mean, I'm not in a sorority and I could tell that the greeks at my school are NOT like that!

No, I haven't seen it yet. I don't think I want to see it at all! I am sure that it has all the negative stereotypes under the sun.
