I was watching "We Were the Mulvaneys" on Lifetime this evening since I read the Joyce Carol Oates book and was curious. While watching the movie, there was a preview for the Lifetime series "For the People". One of the upcoming episodes is all about a sorority "pledge" that dies from a cocaine overdose. The few snippets show these girls in a very negative light. Granted I watch Lifetime because the movies are SO OUTRAGEOUS, but this is just influencing a negative stereotype and not factual at all. One part of the preview has a girl saying how she wants to be a "Zeta". It shouldn't take too long for someone to think this is reality.
Thanks for not empowering us women Lifetime, would it be so had to do a movie about a group of women in a sorority that are there for each other their whole lives, that is touching? Or a factual show about all the philanthropy or a historical show? I think I may have to shoot off an email like I did when they had all these commercials and what not about loving yourself as you are, yet had on weight loss infomercials at night.
There will be three weeks of sorority bashing on Lifetime. January 5th and 11th you can catch "We The People" and on the 19th that movie with Jenna Von Oy and Hilary Swank "Dying to Belong" is on. How wonderful that this is all on during spring recruitment.
