"Greeks" TV Show

[axidgl]

**Forgive me if this should go somewhere else, and feel free to move it.**

So apparently ABC family is going to have a show on "a group of college students in and out of the fraternity and sorority system at a campus." Not a reality show, but just good ol' acting. Along with the show, ABC Fam. will have a site, www.virtualrush.com. (Read the article in full here).

Thoughts? Depending on how greek life is portrayed, I could see this boosting numbers. But you know there will be drama to increase ratings. So will drama= story lines on hazing, alcohol abuse, etc.?

Wow, some of those programs sound like real winners ...

One can only hope that it turns out to be an accurate, yet positive portrayal of Greek Life.

Yeah, like THAT'S gonna happen.

Truly though, I don't really think typical "accurate" Greek life would even make for good TV. Maybe something like Bama or LSU, possibly.

Someone from this show has tried to contact at least one of our chapters. Since they wouldn't talk to them, I don't know why they wanted to talk to our members, but they were smart gals and didn't talk to them.

ABC has contacted many chapters at UCLA with the intention of interviewing them about Greek Life. I'm not sure what their aim is, but I do know that they had a particular interest in rivalry with other chapters.
