New TV show based on Greek Life

[DPhiE11]

From the second I saw the ads for this show around my campus I knew it would be bad. I went online to check it out and low and behold what symbol did they choose to represent greek life?? A red solo cup of course. I'm pissed off about this show and it hasn't even started yet. Like Greeks don't have a bad reputation already and they are just making the stereotype worse.

Almost like actual greeks are involved! I always feel wierd drinking non alcoholic drinks out of red solo cups. Any other color I'm okay with but for me red = "No officer, there was no alcohol in the red cup I dropped as you pulled up to the house."

no body gives love to the blue keg cup.

blue keg cup for life

LOL!

And yeah, it is only red solo cups for me too. I went to a party with green solo cups ... I was excited--I haven't seen that ever before or since!

solo cups come in all colors. i went to a NPHC party and every org had them in their colors.

then again, i dont know if they come in white...

and im really disappointed in the red honking solo cup and the Sigma symbols as E's. im most disappointed at the tagline: "college. it's a rush."

can they fire the intern who came up with that one?

I don't know if this counts, but they do have the smaller ones in various colors like Yellow and white as well as the larger ones in yellow (haven't seen them in white). I always assumed that SOLO made them but, who knows?

man....it'd be nice to see NIC, NPC, and NPHC come out with some kind of joint condemnation of this mockery of a show.

No, it would not nice to see a show like that about our the NIC, NPC, or NPHC. I feel that we (people of color) have enough problems with television programs as it is. Thanks to BET, MTV, and VH1 we have our hands full already with ignorant programming. Example, "College Hill", is SUPPOSED to give a full picture of what life is like on Historically Black College/ Universities campus and it is the worst thing I have ever seen about HBCU's, EVER! Furthermore, I viewed the clip and I feel that the show will have low ratings and be a thing of the past by kick off of the NFL season in the fall, lol...I think you need to get a Blockbuster card and rent Bamboozled by Spike Lee to give you a sense of what I mean.

There you go!!!! Another crappy show that is going to draw the wrong crowd or at least the wrong people to our organizations. This isn't Greek life. This is another crappy TV show by people who were probably rejected by every Fraternity or Sorority they ever attempted to be involved with. Be ready for the hail storm of questions from the incoming freshmen and be on the look out for posers who mimic what they see on TV actually thinking that ABC family is the authority on Greek Life. Every greek on every campus is going to have to work that much harder to find the people who were born to be Greek but didn't know it....

AND FOR THE RECORD I HATE WHEN PEOPLE USE SIGMAS AS THE LETTER E....

Or vice versa when people denote a frat like Sigma Chi as EX...

But anyways more importantly this the classic script from the 90s. The hot sorority president probably gets involved with the nerdy roommate, the awkward boy trying to join a fraternity and meets the hot girl, etc etc. So cliche it's disgusting. Does anybody remember that awful show on MTV that was basically the Real World but at some sorority house in Davis? I forget what it was called goodness.

Amen! I soooooo sick of shows like this...At least in some movies such as "Legally Blonde" and "Old School" are comedies, and the craziness of Greek Life is protrayed as a joke. I acutally get a laugh out of those movies. But when something is given a tagline of a "drama" and mispresents Greek Life like that it makes me sick!

They need to make a show like this for those of us who are in a latino or BLGO, now THAT would be interesting
