New TV show based on Greek Life

[BGbeauty]

I actually didn't get to see the show until today (thank you Tivo!) and I really have mixed feelings on it. On the one hand, I like the basic plot line. On the other hand, it shows a skewed portrayal of Greek life (although not as skewed as others I've seen). It basically takes the media's ideas of Greek life and throws in a little bit of truth. It also portrays fraternity life in a more positive way than how they show sororities: portraying the usual "bitchy, stuck up, stupid" sorority life that we've come to expect from the media.
Part of me feels upset that it's just another portrayal from outside of the Greek community that is going to add to the negative stigma we've already got, but part of me wants to give it a chance and hope that it will actually do some good...

Oh! Another big plus, even if she plays the foil to Casey on this show, the new "it" girl- Rebecca is Pakistani.


That greatly pleases me. She was probably one of the better actresses during that whole show!

Portrayed fraternities in a more positive way?? It showed us as a bunch of drunk, partying, idiots who cheat on our girlfriends, are closet cases, haze, and insensitive louts.

The members of my chapter would never.....wait, Ricky did cheat on his girlfriend with her sorority sister.

Well, the Tekes on my campus would never.....wait, there were those rumors about Jon and Glenn.

Okay, the Sig Eps at ASU would never....oh, I almost forgot, they lost their charter for hazing and then (alledgedly) burned down their house so no one else could have it.

The Pikes would never.....yeah, they were known as the Country Club boys.


Never mind.

And it has begun.

I know the OP was just trying to find out information, so I'm not purposely flaming him/her... but I just find the reference to be funny. Quite funny actually

I just saw the show last night and I was thinking the same thing. Dude's answer to "why are you rushing?" at the Omega Chi house was too generic for me. Why did everyone look around like whoa? LOL!

I caught 5 minutes of this show and quickly turned it off. It's one of the worst shows I've ever seen.

The writing is awful. There is no originality. The writers used every cliche and stereotype within the first 5 minutes. What were they going to do for the rest of the show? Plus the acting was terrible.

I don't think this show is going to last. It's not a train wrck. It's just bad TV.
