New TV show based on Greek Life

[Salamandar]

GrSSK!!
Sorry, its a big pet peeve of mine when people make stuff about Greek Life and then go and use Sigmas as Es or Deltas as As or whatever...I dunno, I guess I just think its kinda lazy, they go through all this trouble to make a show about Greeks and then assume that cuz Sigs look like Es they are. I'm just sayin, if they're gonna use Greek Letters in a title about something about Greek Life like that, why not get creative and use the actual letters in the title (Gamma Rho E E K)? I understand that people who don't know anything about Greek Life would assume that they're Es and read it as such, but yeah...that bug anybody else or am I just being dumb?

Good. If no one has any idea what it is, then they won't watch it.

Anyway, this sounds like just another trainwreck in the works.

She also played Dr. Lucy Montgomery on As The World Turns (for us ATWT fans). I never liked her then so I don't know if I'll like her character in this one.

man i just wrote this really good post but it got lost in the F5 shuffle but in short:

the girl looks old in the face, but she's like my age so... its whatever really. i wouldve cast hayden pantierre because a. ABC has cast her a lot lately, and she's done lots of different stuff (not that i am lauding her acting career cause to me she's still small fries) and to me it seems like something she'd do. OR Jamie Lynn Spears wouldve fit the role... then again im working solely on cute factor here and hell if we're gonna sell the success of a show based on over the top greek stereotypes, might as well make the stars cute and somewhat known right?

I think Hayden's got her hands full being on one of the most popular shows of the past season on a real network, without having to resort to this dreck.

honestly though, the stereotype of greek life has already been laid down by movies like animal house, revenge of the nerds, and old school, this show is not going to be anything different from these movies so the image of greek life wont change, unfortunately. People in this world have their minds set on something and it will take more than a tv show to change the minds of people and honestly this show wont affect the view on greek life anymore. I think we should enjoy it and not worry about how it makes us look. If we can still recruit quality brothers and sisters before the show, even with the "animal house" mentality going around with incoming freshman, than we will still be able to find quality brothers and sisters afterwards, its just we need to do our jobs and go out there and find those brothers and sisters, I for one will be watching the show
