MTV and Sororities

[Zuma]

Finally, some of the greatest anxieties about the show stem from its title. We hope that the Greek community at UC Davis as well as the viewers of the series will interpret "Sorority Life" to mean "life in a sorority" rather than "life in all sororities." If we are expected to represent every sorority in the Greek system, every student at UC Davis and every member of the Jewish community, then we have quite a job ahead of us. There is not one sorority or fraternity in the nation that could possibly epitomize everything it means to be Greek. Likewise, there is not one Jew who could show the world everything it means to be Jewish, and not a single UCD student who could summarize the experience of everyone who attends this school. So, while we have been and will continue doing our best to represent everyone, our only feasible option is to simply be ourselves. We, as a Greek community, must realize that each organization is unique and embrace these differences between us. We hope that, throughout the remainder of this quarter and long after the show has aired, whatever its outcomes, the Greek community will stand by us.
