It negates the positives that GLOs have contributed to American society and beyond. I would like to say that people are not that stupid; unfortunately, however, many are.

Be honest here, would you tune in for an hour one night a week to a program that showed nothing but sororities cleaning up highways, volunteering at soup kitchens, and holding various fundraisers? Do you think anyone else would?

I most likely wouldn't tune in anyway, but I don't particularly think it should be ALL about negativity, either. The best shows on television don't all have to be like Jerry Springer, do they? I'm just getting sick of people assuming that because I am in a sorority that I must be ALL about drinking or partying just because of what they have seen on tv. To be perfectly honest, I'm getting kind of sick of people getting all of their information about the world from trashy television, MySpace, and YouTube though, so I guess I'm jaded.

Have you seen the show? No. So how do you know it's "ALL about negativity?"

Because 1. I have read several of the previews for it, 2. I have seen several of the pictures from the show, and 3. I viewed the website on the show, and did not like what I saw--take, for example, even the picture on the first page. http://abcfamily.go.com/shows/greek/ Tasteless.
