I myself love the commercials, especially with that southern lady. Her accent KILLS me especially when she pronounces the sorority's name.

I completely agree.
And it's not like "Sorority Life" has presented a one-hundred percent terrible version of real sorority life. The Sigmas, for example, showed MTV viewers that not all sorority girls are blond, beautiful, skinny and stuck-up -- there were plenty of brunette, average-looking and down-to-earth girls in that sorority. And if what Chloe said and the rumors about "Sorority Life 3" are true, it's awesome that they'll be showing a multicultural sorority on the show, which will help to dispel the rumors that the Greek system is racist/elitist/whatever.
I hate to break it to you guys, but the stereotypes MTV is perpetuating are already held to be true by most anti-Greeks. They already assume we drink all the time, haze, are promiscuous -- so the fact that MTV is showing them a show with the same theme doesn't mean much. And at the same time, we are getting some decent publicity out of it -- the viewers are also seeing that sorority girls are not cookie cutter and some of them are actually really nice, down-to-earth, cool girls.
Of course, I could retract that entire statement after this season -- we'll see.
I love the Southern lady too!
