That's one "reality show" that the NPC and member organizations and universities will never allow. Others have thought of similar ideas, and they've been quickly nipped in the bud. It would be invasive of PNM privacy and membership selection.

The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders selection show didn't pave the way for a sorority recruitment documentary.

Believe it or not, a production company followed Ole Miss rush in the fall of 1979 and made a documentary about it. I never saw it, but I know that it was released. I thank God that Mark Kay Place was the director of the film and is a Theta. And that's all that I am going to say about that!!!

When I was in high school and starting my college search, I bought a copy (which I still have) of Lisa Birnbach's College Book, by the author of The Official Preppy Handbook. The profile of Ole Miss mentioned this documentary, and it quoted someone in student affairs who claimed that a young woman from Ireland saw it and was inspired to enroll at Ole Miss and go through rush.

I wish it were up on YouTube, because it sounds fascinating.

But it is just as addictive as some of our Recruitment threads!!!
