New TV show based on Greek Life

[SnuKnight172]

Wasn't it called Greek Life. There was a Fraternity on it as well a different season. The chapter they did was at UC Santa Cruz and it was a difunct Sigma Chi chapter that changed their name to Sigma Chi Omega. They used Sigma Chi's flag and everything the only difference was that the flag had the words Sigma Chi Omega across the bottom in white block letters.

Actually, there were 3 seasons of Sorority Life and 2 seasons of Fraternity Life.

Season One of Sorority Life featured the sisters of Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi (SAEPi), Jewish-interest sorority at UC-Davis. This season wasn't so bad, IMO.

Season Two of Sorority Life included Delta Xi Omega, a local sorority at the University of Buffalo. Season One of Fraternity Life also began here with Sigma Chi Omega. Discussion of these trainwrecks are here.

Then Fraternity Life 2 happened. Unfortunately, Delta Omega Chi members at UC-Santa Cruz were accused of stealing and possibly grilling Goldie, the beloved campus koi.

The University of Southern California prohibited MTV's cameras on campus to film Sorority Life 3, which was set to include the sisters of Zeta Sigma Phi. Despite one of my HS classmates being an active sister during this season, I didn't bother watching it past the first episode.

To be clear, the local Sigma Chi Omega (SUNY-Buffalo not UC Santa Cruz. Delta Omega Chi was the local at UCSC) "featured" in MTV's 'Fraternity Life' was never associated with Sigma Chi International Fraternity. They were/are a local that petitioned Sigma Chi International Fraternity to become a chapter. The petition was denied prior to MTV's involvement (i.e. taping and airing of the show).

Currently, the local Sigma Chi Omega has retained blue and gold as their colors as well as the white rose for their flower. It is my understanding that anything else that might be associated with Sigma Chi International Fraternity is no longer used by the local. This may or may not be the result of potential litigation by Sigma Chi International Fraternity on (toward?) the local Sigma Chi Omega.
