Portrayed fraternities in a more positive way?? It showed us as a bunch of drunk, partying, idiots who cheat on our girlfriends, are closet cases, haze, and insensitive louts.

The members of my chapter would never.....wait, Ricky did cheat on his girlfriend with her sorority sister.

Well, the Tekes on my campus would never.....wait, there were those rumors about Jon and Glenn.

Okay, the Sig Eps at ASU would never....oh, I almost forgot, they lost their charter for hazing and then (alledgedly) burned down their house so no one else could have it.

The Pikes would never.....yeah, they were known as the Country Club boys.

Never mind.

And it has begun.

I know the OP was just trying to find out information, so I'm not purposely flaming him/her... but I just find the reference to be funny. Quite funny actually

you know what would be really scary? if some of the writers wanted to do research about greek life and were lurking around this site right now.

I just saw the show last night and I was thinking the same thing. Dude's answer to "why are you rushing?" at the Omega Chi house was too generic for me. Why did everyone look around like whoa? LOL!

I caught 5 minutes of this show and quickly turned it off. It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

The writing is awful. There is no originality. The writers used every cliche and stereotype within the first 5 minutes. What were they going to do for the rest of the show? Plus the acting was terrible.

I don't think this show is going to last. It's not a train wrck. It's just bad TV.

The greek references and the absurdity of what they had greeks doing pissed me off.
The storyline between the brother and sister I thought was kind of interesting, I just didn't expect it to be resolved, semi-resolved by the end of the episode. She was a typical older sister, not wanting your brother around. I felt that exact same way, albeit, in high school. I totally understand the annoyance of having your little brother come around and invade in your "turf".
I found some of the storylines interesting, hated the greek references, but my roommate was like 'take it with a grain of salt'. Because let's face it, NO ONE wants to do a show on the reality of greek life. Yes, there would be some drama, but the reality is I think people would say "god their boring" and that doesn't make good television.

The ABC airing was heavily edited! I enjoyed the cable version better.

ROFL if you think a show is not going to last because of these things you must have been living under a rock for the past 5 years. Look at 99% of other shows on every channel...
