I've Had It!

Star Turtle and sugar and spice,

Thank you both. I have gotten tired of trying to say the similar thing because some people on this board just cannot/will not get it through their thick heads.

Yes, I was the first one to say that the Sigmas needed their heads examined for getting involved with MTV. That was mainly because I knew they would get edited into something for maximum drama, not necessarily real life, and get raked over the coals on the reality show sites. If there is still a group of women out there who haven't gotten completely jaded and cynical and thought the best would happen, well, God bless them. For all we know, the creator planned to do a positive portrayal and took it to MTV, and was told to sleaze it up. Until he and the Sigmas can speak freely, we'll never know. We are seeing maybe 5%, if that, of the events that happened within Sigma this quarter. Unless we can see the other 95%, we can only judge the SHOW, not the SISTERS.

And when you say "they're not really Greek" - "their rush is stupid" - etc. etc. - do you realize how much that plays up to every "sorority girls are snobs" stereotype? And yes I say girls, because I've seen very little bashing from the guys on here.

So just keep saying to every PNM "We're NOTHING like that MTV show! They are a complete joke! We would never act like that!" till you get the PNM who decided to rush BECAUSE she saw women on this show who are not rich and do not look like Barbie, and she's so turned off by your attitude that she - and all the positive qualities she has that you wanted as part of your sisterhood - walks out the door.
