Interesting because I've met a few, but the good majority of girls that I've met, Greek or non, don't talk as if they were extras in Legally Blonde. The whole voice inflection is kind of annoying, esp. being used as a stereotype.

I did like this recent episode. Rusty is becoming more badass every episode. I wonder how many more episodes we have to endure the whole everybody cheer when Casey and Evan kiss while Cappie watches deal...This show has a little bit of everything, from the cheesy sports drama, to the seriousness of Calvin coming out of the closet, the show really touches base on a lot of issues that I really didn't expect it to. I most def. want to see Rebecca get put in her place...yikes.

But new question, did anybody else notice that the pledges got to wear their letters? As far as I know, you don't get your letter til you cross...you gotta earn those for sure...hmmm

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it, but I have been noticing that they wear their pledge pins on their shirt collars. Very strange looking.

I obviously don't know about fraternities, but when I was an Alpha I was allowed to wear the letters, just not the crest.

The rule varies from GLO to GLO -- some prohibit wearing the letters or the coat-of-arms, some just the letters or the coat-of-arms, some neither.

Around the time I was graduating.. a couple of years ago..our headquarters told us that we had to let the new members wear letters if they wanted to b/c they would consider it hazing if we did not. While I agree, that you have to earn your letters..the show doesn't seem to be to far off on that one.

I also noticed something odd in the last episode. When Calvin and Rusty were outside and Rusty was working on his floor hockey game (I think this is the right moment) I was looking at both of their pledge pins and they looked the same, now I dont know exactly what they are supposed to be, it could be as simple as the same shape just with each GLOs letters inscribed on the face of the pledge pin, but in real life most organizations vary greatly in shape, color, and even size, so who knows. It was just something that caught my eye on the last episode, cant wait for Monday to slink back around so I can watch the next episode. I just wish there was some more good TV throughout the week, there are only 2 shows on now that I watch and that is Entourage on Sundays and Greek on Mondays. There needs to be something to fill that gap between Tuesday and Friday. Does anybody have any suggestions?

I think that the ZBZ girls have the same pins also.

I <3 this show.

But when I pledged in fall of '02 we were able to wear letter shirts. Only in '04 did our chapter start waiting until Initiation because it made the day more special -- getting your first letter shirt that is. I don't think it's against the rules by our nationals either way... just a preference thing.

It's not--my chapter and many others I know of give letter shirts on bid day.

The ZBZ girls had the crest on when they did their dance for the Omega Chis. While that bugged a little it bugged me more that not only were the Omega Chi pledges wearing their letters but the ZBZs were too. Omega Chi strike me as the traditional type of chapter that would not allow any of that to happen. Kappa Tau on the other hand I could see that happening.

I've been recording Psych on Friday nights onto my DVR and saving it for the week. It'a a cute show about a guy who pretends to be psychic so he can work on the police force as a detective.
