I get the feeling that what MTV is looking for is the stereotypical sorority, not ones that actually uphold the values of their founders.

I watched the entire season....and....
It was just horrible! It protrayed all GLO's in a negative way! It only showed how drunk they seem to always get and it definately showed how divided the entire pledge class was. Was that MTV's point? know one knows. but it really made them look bad and i would think that is Nationals consensus is to protect ones reputation.
By accepting an invitation from MTV you are opening yoruself up to total personal/chptr. humilation, and ruining any chances for respect from National GLOs... but that is just my humble opinion and 2 cents worth for the day.
Know i am only a Alum Initate, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what would trash ones rep. if your local and wanting to someday be affliated with a National GLO!

I think the sisters themselves came off (relatively speaking) better than the pledges. It was quite obvious that a couple of the pledges were just there to get on TV (Jordan, I'm looking at you) and had no interest in sisterhood or understanding why there were rules to follow.
The guys in Fraternity Life are supposedly petitioning to become Sigma Chi, but I don't know if that is still on.

Yeah, reality TV shows are getting out of hand.
yeah the show sucked Big Floppy Donkey D... (insert South Park insults here).
But If they select a group of girls that do something other than bitch at each other this time I will gladly watch it. I hear ΣAEΠ is actually doin' pretty well after their 15 minutes of fame, mebbe it does local GLO's some good.

Hey y'all
I don't understand all the big fuss. I am not currently in a GLO, but i watched some of the shows. I really don't think it showed sorority life in such a bad light. Sure they showed girls who went out and partied, but from what i took from it they did this before. Being in a sorority or being greek in general had nothing to do with the way they acted. Everything on MTV is so...fake. I am sure most of the time those girls got a long just great, but MTV edited to make it interesting and watchable. If anything i found it to be humorous, because i know that's not what being greek truly is... I mean do you really care what somebody who takes MTV programming seriously thinks ?? You shouldn't...
But hey that's just me...Just telling y'all isn't not as bad as it's seems. You have to admit, though, you found it a little humourous because it was so ridiciously inaccurate.

Hmmm. I think that's interesting that they inquired about philanthropies......
Considering they didn't even MENTION anything about philanthropies in the last season.
Too busy focusing on the cat fights and the drunkeness, I suppose.
~sigh~
Personally, I can't wait till this whold reality-tv phase is over.

if you're interested in doing sorority life, just BE CAREFUL! remember what you thought about those girls, and the lack of respect that they displayed. MTV is going to do whatever it takes to get the ratings up, even if they totally trash your greek unity. best of luck to you, and your greek community!!

Lovely. Did you see where it said MTV paid the rent on their houses and redecorated so everything would look better on TV? For a small local GLO, I guess I could see how financial offers like that could be really tempting.....
For me personally, I don't think I could accept a bid from a GLO if it meant being filmed 24/7 by MTV.

Exactly. If a rushee can't distinguish between fantasy and reality, that's their problem, not yours.

Their website is awesome! And that's pretty cool that they've stayed a local for that many years.
