Sure, they edit things that actually matter. But they're not going to say "Hmm, this subject matter may be slightly offensive to a handful of members of a particular sub-culture of American society. Better jock it from the air." Give ME a break.

There are a LOT more than a handful of people that would be offended, but it's pointless for us to argue about this. I'm going to agree to disagree.

I think that the negative that will come from this show are the idiots that try to rush because they think that it is going to be like what they have seen on the show. It is the responsibility of chapters to weed out the bad seeds. We all need to have faith in our abilities to recruit new members and ensure that new members are not initiated unless they uphold the ideals of our fraternities and sororities.

Keep in mind that the President of ABC Entertainment is a Phi Delta Theta from Cornell, Steve McPherson. I can't believe that he would make a show that he felt was truly going to harm the Greek Community.

The show is what we make of it. Any publicity is good publicity I think that this may cause people who never considered rushing a Greek Letter Organization to come by and check it out. Like I said before we will have to weed out the bad seeds but this may lead to finding some Brothers or Sisters that would have never considered your organization previously.

This show may drive some of the people on the fence about Greek life to not rush but in the end we will have to bring them back and show them the good that is behind our organizations.

For the right advertising dollar and ratings price, I'm pretty sure he would.

AGREED. Sad, but true. Just because a person is a member of a GLO doesn't mean that he or she has the national organization's best interests at heart, or the entire Greek community's.
