I hated that segment. It made me cringe. GLOs need to stop trusting media outlets to be considerate of our interests.

Exactly, which is why this request raises red flags.
Hmmmm, and did Tyra just want to RUSH a sorority,or join one. - LOL

i personally think Tyra Banks is an attention whore. portraying sororities in positive or negative light would probably be the last thing on her mind. which ever one would make her audience go "aww, poor tyra" the most would be the angle they go for.

Thank you, DSTCHAOS. This is exactly why I hope sororities stay away from this project.

While many people are hopeful that this would portray us well...come on. You know that an episode showing the positive things about being Greek won't benefit anybody else but us -- and it probably won't make for good TV as far as ratings go.
People like drama and they like looking down on us. No one gives a damn about raising money for charity. Give them a show about parties that get out of hand or catty chapter members and they'll tune in.

Hmmmmm, notice the edits if the OPs posts. Either this was a scam to begin with or we gave her an earful she wasn't ready to hear. LOL
The funny thing is I used to like and respect Tyra until she started doing this show. Her "people" aren't taking good care of her.

I think she was legit because the email address she posted was a tyratv.com address. Plus, a search of her email on Google brought up other message boards where she solicited individuals to be on the Tyra show -- she was looking for female rageaholics and Fergie's biggest fans.
Methinks it's because she wasn't anticipating this kind of response. Oh well. Maybe Tyra's childhood dream of being in a sorority won't happen after all.

Maybe Tyra can start her own sorority!!
She can be the founder of Nu Tau Mu - for Next Top Model.
