Asked if the filming provides an opportunity to counter "animal house" stereotypes and build campus support for Greek organizations, Beaudu noted that "MTV is going to portray us how they want to--it might not be accurate."


"No matter what we do, good or bad, MTV is going to focus a lot on the more interesting, exciting aspects, like partying, and the crazy drinking associated with fraternities, anyway," he said.


And what has been the result of the other fraternities shown on MTV FL? I believe all of them have been closed, or are in the process of closing, because of what has been aired.

Even though it's entertaining, by it's very nature, making something for "entertainment" has been nothing short of a death sentence for the chapters involved.

It would bode well for any organization thinking about participating in this televised fraud of fraternity life to seriously consider MTV's track record...
