ABC Family new series: "Greek"

[legallyblond]

I loved the flashbacks - fills in so much. If they do a lot more flashbacks they get a longer life from the main characters - who have to be 2nd semester juniors at this point. Yeah, we all though Evan was the villain and Cappie the poor guy that got betrayed. Turns out Cappie was a jerk and Evan the nice guy. and Frannie is not so one dimensional. Casey can be too harsh on others.

Does anyone know what sorority ZBZ is being based on? I'm picking up some Tri Delt characteristics, like snapping fingers to agree w/someone in a mtg, wearing pearls w/every outfit even sweatshirts, and mostly - in the flashback where Frannie is reading a letter to Casey in the big/little, she quotes their founder saying something like 'Steadfast in our love and friendship' as their motto - Tri Delt's is 'Steadfastly love one another'....so close.

Umm... there are lots of other NPC chapters that have some of those characteristics at varying schools. I haven't picked up on anything that really "ties" ZBZ to an existing chapter. Now the Tri-Delt motto thing I can see.

I have been noticing the symbols a lot lately..... The seal has a cat in it......I hope no reference to KAT, but who knows! Also they do seem to have a lot of crowns displayed. There is one on the top of Casey's paddle in her room, and I think on the seal?

I just don't get why there's a need for any speculation as to who ZBZ is being based on. My guess is that the show's writers are trying their best NOT to have anything resemble an existing sorority's symbols/mottos/etc.

I really must applaud the show's writers because based from what I've seen so far they really did research -- from the skits to the big/little revealing to risk management policies...pretty impressive.

I know that most dramas on ABC Family don't have a long shelf life, so I'm curious to see how long they'll let this one last. Based on "the Greek Ball incident that happened 2 years ago" Cappie/Casey/Evan are all Juniors, right?

I was wondering about this because last season Casey was a junior. So they are either 2nd semester juniors (as in this season is showing the Spring Semester) or they are Seniors. I wanna say they are seniors, but I think they are 2nd semester juniors, because Rusty & all of them havent initiated yet (or it doesnt seem like they have).

I think they're 2nd semester juniors. It's the "2nd season" but they were only on semester break, I think.

See that's probably right. I just couldn't remember if they were on Winter Break or Summer Break....

ETA: Now that I think about it Rusty mentioned something in the first episode of this new season about being gone "a couple weeks" and I thought that was odd for summer break. So it obviously was winter break.
