Ya i felt really bad for Jessica. She seems so sweet and nice and the girls just snub her off. She had to know that the girls would already have bonded though. I mean she was kind of the sixth wheel, but they were bitches to be so rude.

p.s. i was watchin this with my aunt and she said that she though jordan looked like a drag queen. i think she's good looking.....ah well. She does kind of over-do the makeup

Ok... I can't find the thread, so I'll use this one.

I've become addicted to Sorority Life. Those girls... ok just Amanda, Candace and Jordan, are making a mockary of real life Sorority Life. If u can't be around all those girls, then leave. If you don't want rules, then don't be part of an organization. EVERY organization has rules, unless they want it to be anarchy. I really think Jordan is trying, and that she's just trying to impress the other girls. I DONT LIKE AMANDA!

One more thing: WHO bia bia slaps Jessica at the bar in the next episode? I think it's Amanda!

Sylvia is Jessica's friend. I don't think she is another pledge. It looked like there's going to be a fight in the house with Jordan and think Amanda.

Actually, there is a pledge named Sylvia.

This year, I am very happy that we have sophomore recruitment, because (hopefully) we won't get many, if any, questions related to this show. Anyone who was halfway observant as a freshman should realize that much of this stuff doesn't really happen. At least, we won't be getting the "do you have a pledge house?" question.

Random question (I'm not sure if this was answered in another thread or not and I'm too lazy to look for it): I noticed that DZRose had brought up the fact that pledge bracelets were hazing. I don't understand how making them wear a bracelet is different from making them wear a new member pin, like national GLOs do. Can anyone answer this? Thanks!

I think the thing that makes the bracelets smack of hazing, is the fact that they are required to wear it at all times (except, of course, when they are engaging in "un-sigma-like behavior"), and to my knowledge, no GLO requires their pledges/new members to wear their pledge pin at all times. The pledge pin is simply the insignia that they are privileged to wear until they are initiated and eligible to wear the active badge.

At least when I was a pledge, we were only required to wear our pins to pledge meetings, and were encouraged to wear them when we chose to wear pin attire to classes (we couldn't wear it with jeans or shorts--had to be dressed appropriately). It's the "requirement" of wearing the bracelet at all times that is suspect, I think. I think they stopped requiring pledges to wear pledge ribbons at all times before I pledged--for the same reason...sounds harmless, I know, but the powers that be have determined it is a mild form of hazing to require such things as wearing bracelets all the time, carrying pledge notebooks, addressing actives in a certain way, etc. It's a product of our PC society, and not wanting such activities to lead to harmful/dangerous hazing.

I could be wrong though...maybe some chapters do require the pledge pin to be worn 24/7?

Jordan and Candace are mad at each other. You think they will mud wrestle?

APhi · #25 07-23-2002, 11:51 AM

I agree that the pledge bracelet seemed like hazing. It seems like under the current NPC rules you can't "require" the pledges to do anything the actives don't have to do as well.
I was amused last night though because there was finally something on that show I could relate to. Their silly games like "Find someone born in the same month as you" was actually something we used to do as icebreaker games. My boyfriend just smiled, shook his head and went into his obvious restraint mode. You know, the anything I say will only get me in trouble so I'll just smile and keep my mouth shut look.
I really hate Candace and Jordan at the moment. If you can't stand a house full of girls and all kinds of girly togetherness then maybe sorority life isn't for you. I'm willing to bet they'll drop out after the show is over.

On the Sigma-AEP website (link is in one of the other threads or you can get to it thru yahoo search), Candace and Jordan are in a lot of the pictures in the "photo" section of the website. I'm guessing that if they dropped out, their pictures would be taken off....but i could be wrong. So, i don't think they'll drop out. I think they just need a reality check of what they have committed to and what that should mean to them. I think jordan will do fine, candace seems a bit "rebellious" but she seems like a good person anyways. Well enough of my ranting....just my opinion.....

Sisterplum · #27 07-23-2002, 02:29 PM

I would have to disagree with y'all on the wearing bracelets is hazing thing. We have our pledges make and wear necklaces that they are asked to wear at all times (unless at a bar or drinking, then they are to remove it.....and of course while sleeping and showering)

In no way is this considered hazing....well, in our opinions anyway. Y'all may feel differently about it, but we don't feel this is hazing in any sense of the word.

I also know that Zeta Psi requires that all their pledges wear their pledge pin at all times (except of course under the same situations as us....when drinking, sleeping or showering). I know this cause both my brother and husband pledged the Zetes.

I won't even lie, I like the show and I'm a guy

it's great! I watched it last night with my girl friend and her sorority sister, both Alpha Phis. People the show is all a funny soap-opera. If any college person thinks that a sor./frat. is going to have two houses, hahahaha, what are they doing in college. Plus, how can a local org. afford that? If people believe every thing they see on T.V, shame on them. Sure M.T.V is wrong to put shit like that on the air, but what can we do. Let's complain, but see what we are complainning about. I dislike the fact they have not told auidances that this is a local sorority, because I know if it was a national, there would be one less chapter around (they Sigma, as they call themselves HAZE). Ok so "Sorority Life" is alittle much out of true sorority reality, but it is a show, and a very intresting one. We get to see alittle hazing on the side of the actives, alittle advertizment by the actives(the pledge mom had a SAE-Pi shirt with GREEK 101 down the sleve, and the house MTV gave them for a pledge house), prejudice by actives(remember the treatment some of the rushes got when they said they were not Jewish in the first episodes), and some clear pledge mis-behavior(to many to say). Kinda of, remember people "kinda of" what we all do in our own org. I can say, I have been prejudice(I dis-like guys who talk about dis-respecting women and etc.) I can say as a pledge I did not always do what my Big Bro's said(of course I did not get caught) so in fact it is alittle shady at times; but okay so is real life. It is fun to watch. For everyone who is reading this....I think Jessica is wack and is the real girl who is joinning SAE-Pi for the wrong reasons. I have a gut feeling about that. I see her getting crazy at the bar but at home is all about what ever the Big Sisters say. See, I think she is in it for the guys and not the sisterhood, but I can be wrong. I think SAE-Pi has kept Amanda, Candance, and Jordan because they are a good look and from the looks of the SAE-Pi house they need em'. I also think that those three will be a good attraction to other girls who want to join a sorority for parties, please remember people, we all join frats/sors. for different reasons. The reason you and I choose to go greek may and probably is different from one another. Nobodys reason is better or worse than another. In time I feel that Amanda, Candance, and Jordan will look at the meaning that I joined FKT, "true brotherhood" in their case "true sisterhood."

I tried to find the original thread and I gave up.

I was ROLLIN when I heard Jessica say tearfully "Sylvia slapped me" and I think the pledge master at the club goes "She WHAT?".
I know it's wrong but it just sounds too funny when they show it.

The whole show makes greek life look bad. Jordan is acting like a idiot, but I do think because she is pretty she gets a lot of flack for it. You know the saying "don't hate be because I'm beautiful" thing.

The vice president(with the glasses, Leah?) is so pretty to me. I also like the pledge master's hair. It's cute!

I just love the pledge educator too and the president (Leah) would of been our president too. I love the show- I see the original group - a lot like mine- especially the two I just mentioned- and we personally did get a Jordan in the mix once in awhile and you just have to help her see that dirty dancing and getting so drunk that you ram into windows is just not the right way to go! You help mentor these kind of girls and I think the pledge educator and Leah are trying to do this. Come on girls- we've all had a Jordan in the mix!
