To tell the truth, if MTV did a story on the public service and sister/brotherhood aspect of GLOs, I guarentee that there will be plenty of people saying "not on my campus! All ABC sorority does is party!"
Honestly, I believe that A LOT you folks in here really need to lay off of the Simga's and their decision. THEY have told you guys how this wasn't an easy decision that took a lot of though, heart, and guts (for better or worse) to make. After reading this thread, some of you people have not only accused these ladies of single-handly ruining Greek life, but also causing an increase in anti-semetic hatred! WTF!!!
What's interesting is that some members of GLO's are fine with having their greek letters, reputation, house, etc associated with things such as "Pimps and Hos" or "White Trash" parties (knowing full well the negative connotations that associated with those terms) and are not the least bit worried about the image that THEY are portraying to GDI's, faculty, or university.
So why is that when it comes to "questionable behavior" that you do in your everyday lives, in YOUR letters, in YOUR house, that GDIs are susposed to understand that its all in fun and that one GLO DOES NOT represent all orgs, but yet these same GDI's will not be smart enough to figure out that the same applies to this MTV show? GDIs are going to base their opinion of what they see on campus, not on TV. Even those that are future college students will, once when they come to college and experience it firsthand, will base their judgements on what they see YOU doing on campus. Furthermore, would you want someone to join your org that didn't have the common sense to meet you and find out for themselves what your org is about?
Please give GDIs more credit than that and PLEASE stop building up MTV as this powerhouse of entertainment that influences our thoughts and decisions. I believe that people will take it for what its worth.
To the Sigma ladies out there, stay positive and keep your head up. Just use this as a learning experience and keep on doing what you're doing.
