So I watched the first episode and laughed extremely hard. It's stupid to the point of the polar opposite of true greek life.

The men had a rho chi for fraternity rush and they visited every house. The women went to the ones they wanted and were competing to get a senator's daughter as a member which naturally meant bribery with no shame.

The sorority was doing a fake recruitment workshop that basically centered around (omg last season prada shoes, obviously borrowed from a friend she has no money cut her) designer clothes. Then the sorority president says 'you've all done well. Now how about we go do some philanthropy work down at the senior center. [pause]just kidding, get your ID or fake ID and meet me at [local college bar].'

This show is so dumb it's almost offensive but then you just have to laugh instead because it's so ridiculous. I actually encourage PNMs to watch this show, believe that this is all greek life is and come through recruitment. God knows we could all use the laugh.

The show has already aired on TV? From your synopsis it sounds pretty stupid. Yes, I will be interested to see if any PNMs actually bring this show up during recruitment. lol.

You guys realize this is a satire, right? It's not supposed to be all that realistic.

And judging from how heavily they've been promoting it everywhere, I doubt they're going to just let it die easily. Who knows though.

It's not actually a satire. It would actually have to have a point.

I watched it on Itunes... I lol'd. It was fairly ridiculous and I don't feel like it's worth my personal effort to try and get it canceled.
