Greek night on "UNDECLARED"

[33girl]

Well, while I understand where Mr Wrona is coming from, I think he is omitting one major point.

I don't think that any of us would say we want hazing, Greek/non-Greek animosity or any other problems swept under the rug. You can't deal with something until you talk about it. The issue many of us have is that coverage of Greeks is SO NEGATIVELY ONE SIDED. I don't want us to be portrayed as angels, or as devils....just as humans.

I didn't see the episode, but as far as maintaining relationships outside of the Greek system, I can say that I went out of my way to do so with my best friend from the dorm. She was an RA, so I usually stopped by her dorm on my way from class...if she wasn't there I'd leave a "let's get together" message. I always visited her, never the other way around. I tried not to mention my sorority too often because the Greek system was a sore spot with her. And what did I get for my trouble? I heard her saying to someone that "sororities control your life and change who you are." Really, who's the snob in that situation? I'd like to see Undeclared do an episode about that. But where would be the appeal in doing that, even if it is "based on a true story"? None. It's not sensational enough, and it doesn't fit the stereotype.

Also getting back to Mr Wrona's post...that "when will we stop acting like undergrads and grow up" comment is seriously not cool. Anyone with that kind of condescending attitude toward young adults should not be a fraternity advisor.
