I've been keeping up with the Sorority Life thread (all 8 pages of it!) in the Greek Life forum, and for the most part I've been quiet because I really wanted to see this show before I jumped to any conclusions. I honestly think it was unfair how the Sigma girls (and they do frequent GreekChat!) were judged even before the show started.
I don't know how the next episodes are going to be like, but I think it's safe to say that I am impressed with the first episode. The resounding comment in the Greek Life forum was "This wasn't the train wreck I expected it to be.." and I totally agree with it. The commercials were edited that way in order to generate public interest...and so far it's worked!
We must all remember that MTV must have taken some kind of dramatic license here and there, so in a sense this can't be all that bad. Many of us on GC have a lot of questions for the Sigma girls, so hopefully they'll be answered as the season progresses.
I was a former pledge of a local sorority, and honestly I hafta admit that these girls got it good so far.
I think it's still too early to make any judgements on whether or not this will hurt the Greek community, so let's just keep our sets tuned and see where it goes from here!
