Questions about documentaries on sorority rush

[_Q_]

I've seen a documentary on the History Channel about the fraterntity rush at Ole Miss. I have two questions:

1. Have anyone done a documentary about sorority rush?

2. Do you think that someone should do a documentary on sorority rush?

I think that there should be one, however, extreme conditions should apply. The documentary should focus on the positive things, and it should not include drinking. Also, they should feature girls that either got released or dropped out to show the harsh, yet true reality that not everyone gets in. Documentaries do not have happy endings for everyone.

Also, the girls must not say what sorority that they like or don't like. They should, however, say how many they feel comfortable or not comfortable with.

I'm not sure that I'd think about this in terms of whether there "should" be a documentary about this. It seems like it's more a question of whether it would work, and whether a producer was interested in the topic and GLOs and rushees were willing to cooperate. I think it would be interesting, but logistically difficult - I doubt that it would be easy to get permission to go charging into a sorority house in the middle of rush with filming equipment. I'm not sure that being told what to show and not to show would go over too well - creative control seems to be important to filmmakers.
