Like I said during last season, the SAEPi girls didn't come off too badly. Yes, they had some b*tchy girls, and some of the pledges had issues with being alcoholic or drama queens, but overall SAEPi didn't do a terrible job of representing the Greek system. As pointed out, you could see their sisterhood. They seemed like they were pretty classy women. And most importantly, in my opinion, they showed the rest of the non-Greek world that sorority girls aren't all stuck-up, anorexic, blonde bimbos who only care about sex, shopping and parties. Now we as Greeks already knew this, but most of the rest of the world didn't. I think SAEPi broadened their definition of what a sorority could be like and made some girls who didn't think they were "sorority material" think again.
DZO came off far worse to most of us, I think, and I'm a little worried about what effect they could have on rush numbers, since they were portraying the hazing, the snottiness and control freak behavior that many non-Greeks associate with the pledge period. However, I've also seen enough posts on message boards that said, "Oh, I know DZO aren't typical Greeks -- these girls are too psychotic to be typical ANYTHING!" Hopefully that's the overwhelming feeling people are getting . . . although I underestimate Americans' stupidity sometimes.
