hello all i'm new to the forum
I have seen this movie and i recieved it as a gift from my husband who has never really been interested in greek life as i have been. I felt that while this movie was entertaining on a level that those not in Greek orgs would like. Mind you i am not a member of a GLO, i have many friends that are and i happened to accompany them when this film came out. My Friends wore their letters and when we where leaving the theatre they were barraged with questions. I will not say that it was a bad movie, but as alphas who wanted to promote the BGLO's should not make it seem that the NPHC orgs recruit dancers and seek people out. While the heritage hall scene was very poignant i felt it would take more to convince someone to join any org, and should they decide to do so that they should want to know the orgs history, meet with members, do community service, make sure that their GPA is upand know in their heart that that is what they want, and not to do it because they are great at dancing or because they feel they must to fit in. I enjoyed the Brotherhood aspect of the movie, but i still did not like the way they portrayed one fraternity as a bunch of arrogant men who seem to feel they were better than the others and the others as their perpetual shadows stuck in the hopes of being better that their rivals, while not showing any community service or greek love towards one another. When this film came out i was hoping it was going to one up school daze and while it helped a bit, there still has yet to be a movie that really shows what it is to be in a BGLO. Although i will always support Black filmmakers and black films, sometimes the best thing to do is enjoy it for what it was meant to be.... Entertainment.
and that's my 2 cents
