ABC Family new series: "Greek"
Anyone else see this?

I'm thinking it could be disastrous.

This could be real bad news.

It's probably just henna...or paint, ala Umaga on RAW.

I did see a plot summary which I shall now try to post from memory.
Show focuses on a new college freshman (we shall call him Brother) Brother wants to join a fraternity but his big sister is in a sorority and doesn't want him to rush because he'll be all up in her business.
That's all it had.

I think the article said the brother was geeky and wanted to join, much to his sister's chagrin.

I'm guessing the names of the sororities and fraternities will be as lame as the one's on 90210.
KEG anyone?

I'm a fan of ABC Family shows. Well most of them anyway. So I'll give it a chance. It would be fun to watch an interesting show based around Greek life though. Amazingly, no show's made that their whole plot yet, so it could be very interesting. And I think ABC Family is sugary-sweet enough to tackle the "issues" out there, without ruining the idea of Greek life.

That sounds like real life reversed for a guy on my campus and a girl I joined with...
Guy was in fraternity. Guy didn't want sister to join sorority. Mostly because all his brothers thought she was hot and he knew he'd never hear the end of it during greek week/homecoming if our sorority ever joined up with his.
Girl then becomes shining example of greek life and is now a leadership consultant.

Oh my god. I know at out campus Greeks are looked down on. It's not the "cool" thing to do. We have such a hard tim getting girls to join and now with the possiblity of a show like this on TV..our chances just got a whole lot slimmer.

If the whole series is based on being greek then they likely won't cast it in a completely horrible light. Maybe even something positive could make it on the air!
