Sorority Life Part 1 million

PSUSigKap · #1 07-25-2002, 02:38 PM

aight, i had to start a new sorority life thread, cuz the other one was just getting TOO long. i'm sick and tired of the jordan/candace show. i still say the show has no real substance. the half hour's over before anything really happens. they give us teasers to the next show that look really interesting to get us to keep watching and then they deal with whatever it was in the first 2 mins of the show and never mention it agian. it drives me nuts! yes i will watch on monday cuz i wanna see why jessica gets slapped. . .

Wait Jessica gets slapped next episode? I didn't see that! Oh man that is gonna be good. I swear this show it so bad its almost good.

I am sick of Jordan and Candace too. I wonder if they made it to being sisters. I sure hope not they are both so annoying especially Jordan. I kinda felt for Candace though because she was trying to make efforts and Jordan was pretty mean when she insulted her. And when Candace said to her "you know not all of us can be as perfect as you are," that was so well said and WELL DESERVED! Cuz Jordan swears shes like all that but in reality shes just a wannbe greek joke. Actually almost all of the girls living in the house (besides the one with the really long blonde hair that we never see which is why I don't even know her name) are annoying. And the pledge mom (they call it master but I am sorry thats total hazing) always wearing the Greek101.com rhinestone shirt is driving me CRAZY!

I hate this stupid show. I am just so sick and tired of Candace and Jordan whining about how no one wants to get to know them, and no one makes an effort, but in return they don't either. I'm like, hello!! It's a two-way street, ya know.

But, I did get fished in, and will watch on Monday, because I too, am curious about the slap!

Why does everyone say that the house girls are greek posers and things like that. I know a dozen of that type of girl in every house on this campus. They are sorority girls. Hell, even my chapter has them! So you don't like them that doesn't mean that they aren't really representative of what a sorority woman is....

I totally agree! I have learned in various campus organizations (non-greek) I belong to that it's the people that don't make the attempt to get to know people are the ones that crash and burn. They need to learn that the "five-year-old games" arn't there to humilate them, but to bring them together. Some people have no respect.

Yea, the comment Candace made at the end of the episode about "people are finally starting to talk to me and try to get to know me." Maybe that would have happened sooner if you wern't always with the same 4 girls all the time! Oy...

I love the show. I think Jordan is so great and I wish I could be more like her. She has a job, never complains about her schoolwork, and seems to have it all together. After last Mondays episode when she was crying because she is insecure, I totally felt for her. That is exactly how I am and a lot of people in my house too. People always tell me how I seem like I have it all together and always am smiling, yet no one knows what your life is truly like unless they do know you. All of my friends here that watch the show also love her. She and Candace are the ones that keep the show interesting.
Also, when you pledge a sorority you do form cliques of girls you'll hang out with all the time, and then girls you'll hang out with sporadically. Thats the same way it is with the girls in the house. Im sure that all of the other pledges dont all hang out together, they probably have grouped off too.
And those 5 year old games do help you get to know one another, but all of my non greek friends now think that sororities are "lame" if they have to do that.

more like her. She has a job, never complains about her schoolwork,
and seems to have it all together.

Never complains about her schoolwork? Well she said she was Poli Sci
and I have no clue how hard Poli Sci at UC Davis is (I'm sure it's no
cakewalk). But this stupid show has not spent one fraction of a
second on the academic side of college life. It's like the little
people at MTV's brains would explode if they tried to show the balance
beteen academics and Greek life.

One thing I'll give them credit for, they are doing a halfway decent
job of showing what pledging in a quarter-system school is like
(everything seems to happen at once, a stupid in-house retreat when
you have three midterms next week, I would have snuck out for a drink
too).

The quarter system does not make pledging easy in the slightest. Especially in the Spring!

Spring rush is normally 2nd week because p/r is during 1st week. So all the new pledge get to know each other activities are 3rd week and you have mid terms 4th week! Sucks beyond all comprehension.

Then you've got all the philanthropies around 5th and 6th week. Like Derby Days and ISVT.

(By the way, I'll be shocked if Mtv doesn't find a way to devote an entire episode to ISVT. Hundreds of sorority girls running around on a beach in bikinis. It's Mtv heaven!) Then throw in days like UCD's Picnic Day and UCSD's SunGod Festival. Your're lucky if you pass any spring classes let alone do well.

MTV has always provided commercialization for their reality tv shows. What would they do w/o it?

I am sorry but i just have to vent about this rediculous show. Everytime I watch this stupid show I get so mad! Those girls do not deserve to call themselves greeks! Why would you want to be in a group and then make fun of everything that the sorority does? That makes to sense to me. They were making fun of community service! That is just rude. If these girls were in my sorority I would think very seriously about not associating with my chapter. That might sound a little harsh but it is how I feel. Ok sorry about my griping.

Not to be mean or anything but a lot of people don't join sororities for the community service aspect.

I didn't join my organization because of the service projects that we do, I joined to meet new friends because all my friends from high school went away to college. The funny thing is while I was an active member I probably did more community service than anybody in my whole chapter.

I know there are a couple girls in my organization that absolutely dread doing community service. I just remember telling them that a certain amount of service is a requirement...if you don't do it you'll be inactive.

DZTUBAGIRL · #12 07-26-2002, 04:39 PM

I'm not saying that I joined for the community service, my point is that they are constantly making fun of the things that the sisters want to do. If you don't want to do any of it then why are they there? I just don't understand why they are there in the first place.

How will I pass my three midterms that the professors had the audacity to schedule all in the same week?

A. Go out to the bar for a couple of drinks.
B. Complain about it to anyone that will listen.
C. Whine about having to spend time with your pledge sisters.
D. All of the above.
