Thanks for posting that, Sarah. Let's pick out some key quotes:

After watching that show, I really felt like all of my negative, somewhat stereotypical perceptions of sorority girls were, oh I don't know, reinforced and became law somehow.
But what point is the show trying to make? Are they trying to diminish the ill perception that all sorority girls are blonde and not that smart by using this particular sorority? And if so, do they feel any responsibility for replacing that shattered dream with this new train wreck? Now I have a dual perception of sororities, and it's no good.
Maybe in direct reaction to this show, no little girls will join sororities and they will just die out like Pet Rocks did.
Trust me, when you get a real job and real friends (who are free, I might add), you will laugh at this one day.
And this line: I am just glad that Amanda got one too. I know, this is the word nerd coming out. The use of the word "too" means that you were so sure that homegirl wouldn't get invited to buy her friends too and that worried you because you guys are friends slash roommates and you didn't want to make her feel inadequate in your world of "I'm the prettiest." But in reality, none of it is a prize, you all got the flower and the card.

Granted, this is an former Real Worlder who understands what MTV shows are about, but these are the kind of audience reactions that I was worried about (especially #1 and 2).
