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

Which is interesting because you know if any PNM mentions about the show and asks about the things that happen on the show, you can almost 99.5% 9or maybe 100%)cut them off your list. Though the PNM has to be dumb enough to even mention about it...

no i just make sure then when i look for new members, i explain to them what a fraternity is about and i make sure i ask them what they are looking for in joining a fraternity, if they say they want to party along with other things then i wont cut them rght away, but if they say all they do is want to party then yes they will be cut, but the thing is you get people like this before this show comes out, this isnt going to all of a sudden start happening now and i really dont think this show is going to increase these kind of people

from my personal experience, the parties are what get the kids interested. Its pretty simple. Most of them don't have any intention of being involved in philanthropy...or other things like that. they want to hang out and party. Which is fine and good. Its our job as good men (and women) to find those people who have hearts in the right place who haven't really thought about volunteering at a soup kitchen or raising money for a charity... to get out there and get involved, and to make good men better. Just like the Masons who won't allow a bad person to join them, they only take good upstanding people, and use their teachings to make them better... thats what we need to be doing.

Those people who come into my house looking soley to party, and get laid every night by a different girl... I'll give them a chance...its called pledgeship. But if they cant get it together and show me that they are men after my heart...then then can hit the road. thats for damn sure.

So I'm almost more upset about the portrayal of engineering students than I am about the greek life. Pretty cool that nobody on this show can be anything other than a stereotype.
