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.

Psst... I knew. I was just quoting the script.
Stereotype #1 that was forgotten: the party girl yelling, "I'm so drunk!"

I'm actually totally enjoying this show. I actually think they're approaching it as a satire of sorts...i've laughed my butt off several times now. The dialog is actually hilarious if you see it as a comedy...
"I played football for a year. In little league."
"So, why are you rushing?"
"To join a fraternity!"
"There were robots, Casey! Robots."
"How do you know her?"
"Like, in the Biblical sense..."
"Oh, from church!"
"Rusty, this is The Beaver..."
"Like from TV?"
"From TV?! Who sent you?! Are you a narc?!"
I dunno, i don't think people should see it as a dramatic depiction. I think it's meant to be over-the-top. Yet, it DOES have a lot of dialog that suggests that some of the writers are Greek...

And that's what I get for posting so late. 
I need to drink more responsibly.

Wow, I just had a flash back to Greg Marmalade answering Dean Wormer's question, "Which is the worst house on campus?"
