Sure, we can look for the positive, but there is certainly nothing positive about a show whose main purpose is to expose and perpetuate the negative stereotypes. There are already WAY TOO MANY stereotypes out there...and the last thing we need is confirmation!
If there is a hazing or drug/alcohol abuse problem within a sorority, then it's not our business. It should be taken care of with their national headquarters or the appropriate local committee. Their dirty laundry should not be our business. Even if my sorority is not involved, I know that a program like that would affect me and sorority women everywhere.
It is *NOT* the responsibility of the media (especially MTV) to present the positive sides of being in a sorority. We do it all the time by being active on the campus/community or even by keeping our grades up. Sometimes the media will take notice, but, realistically speaking, most of them would rather deal with hazing/alcohol issues because technically, those are the issues that "sell".
It is my hope that none of you are involved with this show, and I also hope that no NPC/NPHC/Local/Multi-Cultural/Asian/Latina-Interest Sorority will accept MTV's offer.
