I just saw todays episode and I was not surprised at who went home.

Also, who the hell thought eating in the dark would be fun? WTH? I prefer my restaurants with lighting, thank you very much.

Aside from Trista (AXO), how many sorority HQ are so quick to broadcast that their member's a contestant/winner on a reality dating show?

I would say that "reality" shows are somewhat choreographed to portray participants (whether they be Greek or non-affiliated) in a less than flattering light, period. Otherwise, these shows wouldn't make for 'good TV'. However, I'm sure that when the producers know that the participant is Greek, the more delicious the temptation to portray them negatively on-camera. (The Australians have a saying for this: "Tall poppies should be cut down to size".)

P.S. Two more for your list: Kim J. on Survivor Africa is a Pi Phi: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivo...ios/kimj.shtml
The webmaster wrote that she is a "Pi Beta Pi Sorority", but I would surmise that that's a typo.

And this one is a KKG: http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivo...os/kelly.shtml

While she is not Satan, I've decided that Kristy Joe is this seasons Lacey. Everyone hates this girl!

The jokes are endless.

Rock of Love bothers me because most of the women are hideous. Brett Michaels isn't hot like he was with Poison but he is still too cute for the trannies on the show.

These dating shows are all dumb but I had to laugh at how hard they were working during that football game. I want to believe these women are struggling actors and don't really want to kick it with Brett (just like I PRAY that the women on FOL don't really want to kick it with Flava Flav).

See, this is why I can sit through ROL - I know people who actually still think Bret is hot and would date him. I cannot say the same where Flav is concerned, so the concept of women competing for him is just too ludicrous to even watch.

There are episodes where I look at Bret and say "mmmm...he's still got a little cuteness" and others where I look at him and say "yikes...he aged horribly...botox and poor health did him in."

Flav has children, though, and there are ugly noncelebrity men who get women. It happens for some reason. Most of the women on ROL and FOL are average if not below average looking. This could explain it also.

The reason I say that is because usually Greeks tend to make the system look BAD on reality shows but, Jessica seems to be very nice and quiet. She is not a backstabber or mean to anyone. Trista didn't slut it up on TV so, I can see why AXO is proud to call her a sister. Phi Mu has had some Reality Stars like Sarah Stone (the winner of) "The Bachelor" season 8 and MTV's "Two-A-Days" Kristin Boyle. In fact, it seems as though many of the NPCs are proud of their "Reality Stars" such as:

AXO-Sarah Jones (Survivor 4) and Aubrey O'Day (Making the Band)
ADPi-Ellen Cho (Road Rules 10)
AEPhi- Colie (Real World 18-Denver)
AGD- Amber Birkich (Survivor 2) and Meredith Phillips (The Bachelor)
APhi-Eliza Orlins (Survivor 9)
AXiD-Jen Schefft (The Bachelorette)
ChiO- Trishelle (Real World 12) and Brooke (Real World 18)
DG- Holly Shand (Road Rules 7)
DPhiE- Parisa (Real World 19)
GPhiB- Johana (Real World 16-still listed even though she terminated memb.)
PiPhi- Kelley (Real World 9)
TriSig-Suzie (The Bachelor)
ZTA- Jenna Morasca (Survivor 6), Kirsten Buschbacher (The Bachelor), and Keri Evans (Real World 11)

Keep in mind this list DOES NOT include members of fraternities (which they have some reality stars listed, as well). So, before you assume that I'm trying to talk up my org. please recognize that I wasn't even speaking up on behalf of my org-it was for Kappa. I think it's great to see people from Greek Orgs. on Tv if they conduct themselves in a respectable manner. I have tons of Greek pride in ALL the Greek organizations. In fact, my cousin is a DPhiE and I was excited to learn that one of my friends from H.S. is a Zeta-even if it's not my sorority-it's great to hear people getting involved...that's all....

Look, little girl, you can take your Wikipedia/Greek101 list 'o Reality Greeks and shove it up your ass.

First of all, I'm well aware that several GLOs do recognize their reality show members. I specifically asked about REALITY DATING SHOWS.

Second, just because a reality star is a member doesn't necessarily mean the HQ will officially recognize them on their website or official publication. Show me where AGD IHQ proudly calls Meredith Phillips an 'Accomplished Alum.' Oh wait, you can't...because apparently she wasn't in good standing when she left Oregon State. And I recall a discussion here years ago about Trishelle and Chi Omega. Show me where her name is on the Outstanding Chi Omegas list. That's right...YOU CAN'T!

I like to think that HQs are quite selective when it comes to lists of notable/accomplished/distinguished alumnae. Again, with the exception of AXO and Trista, somehow I don't think reality show contestant/winner is a resume boost to get you there, let alone someone who appears on a dating show pining over a man who sucks face with 19 other women.

I'd be quicker to recognize a member who does things for the community, a member who introduces legislation to make this a safer place, and a member who inspires honesty and acts of selflessness than a reality TV "star" any day.

Yeah, I've been biting my tongue on this subject since the first post. But seriously, Trishelle and Brooke as outstanding alumnae? I have to agree with OTW. I don't know that hooking up on t.v. qualifies a person as outstanding. Embarrassing is a more appropriate description.

Let me say that Gamma Phi Beta issued a statement because Johanna from Real World was NOT a member when she was on the show and thus NOT entitled to wear our letters. She had resigned/disaffiliated before the show. So - not a Gamma Phi.
