sorority Life - Page 2

So I've been bored out of my mind, so I decided to go on the MTV website and look at the whole fraternity/sorority life stories and i was reading the 20 questions things for the guys and girls... I was laughing so hard... this fraternity and sorority sound like they despise each other... that cracks me up so much... they both make these terribly mean comments about the other and, although some of them are sad, I think it's funny that MTV has paired them up for this reality TV junk we all love and hate so much, but they don't like each other. So now I want to watch because I think it just might be too funny...

On a side note regarding reality TV, I'm so proud of the whole Joe Millionaire guy picking the sweet, modest girl... they're perfect for each other! I just hope they'll last! Yay!

"ARE"?

I'm just saying people usually go all psycho when Sorority Life is mentioned. I just think that instead of whining about it, take it and make it yours. Make it a way to look at your chapter if it bothers you.
Honestly though, this is the first semi-civil thread I've seen on SL. I think that sometimes we (the GLO community) take ourselves too seriously, and need to take an amusing show and make it something to show our good points. It is more proactive than noses in the air over it all.
I dunno, maybe I'm not explaining my meaning well, besides, this is off the topic of the thread.

yeah i read that too..it was pretty bad..like, the some of the girls at least could find something nice to say about the guys, or at least name 1 hot guy in the house..the guys on the other hand were like "they're all dogs..etc etc" but i thinkt he best was the last question asking what the guys thought of the girls and half of them were like 'who??'..thats just sad and mean..

They are working on creating their own national board. That doesn't mean they will ever be part of Panhel.

Did anyone see the Sorority Life reunion special?

kind of boring...
we learned that becca has a bit of a wild side and that 15 to 20 campuses have shown interest. two the alumns are working on organizing the national.

Actually, I think Xi can be pronounced either way.

If I remember correctly (and it was a long time ago that I learned the Greek alphabet), it is pronounced "zee" if it follows a vowell, and "Zi" otherwise.

You're right, however, that within the sorority, they should use one or the other -- and they should know which one.

Frankly, I don't remember what Delta is.

Did anyone watch the Meet The Greeks special that has been airing on MTV? They introduced some of the brothers and sisters of the two chapters. For once MTV actually showed A LOT of brother/sisterhood activities and philanthropy work. I'm hoping MTV doesn't use that as an excuse to say "look we DID show it" and then not show any of those things during the series.

I think having two chapters that are able to interact with each other will make this series soooooooo much more interesting. The toga party and prank war footage looked hilarious!

Side note: boys house = filthy disgusting!!!

I can't wait for the new season (of both shows). I admit I am fully addicted. However....

I can't stand the commercials. I know MTV is parodying sorority and fraternity life but I think that the commercials are blatantly insulting. The commercials are basically saying "Yeah, all the colors, creeds, ideals, etc are Bullsh*t---all we're here for is the drinking and co-eds" I tend to be fairly relaxed about things and not all PC all the time...but to me those commercials are a slap in the face of the organizations.

On a different note, my friend and I watched Meet the Greeks last night and the frat house is gross!!! And one bathroom in the sorority house???? That's crazy!

i don't like the commercials...but i did see the Meet the Greeks Sneak Preview...i can't wait for the series to start even though it interferes with American Idol

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Sorority Life 3 is already filming and they are doing it ar my school!
Once again it is a local, this time a multicultural sorority which mainly has Phillipino girls in it. The entire school is opposed to this action, they recieved a petition of over 9000 people asking them not to do this and they just don't care. We know that this will not only very negatively affect recruitment (as our sisters from UC Davis have told us) but also that it could affect the school's reputation as a whole and really negatively affect our school's recruitment. It's not just bad for sororities either. The Pikes at UC Davis lost their charter because they were on camera in letters drinking with SAEP.

This problem affects all Greeks. Therefore, all Greeks need to take action. Write your national panhellenic delegate. Talk to your advisors. Sadly, we are the ones MTV is marketing to because we all watch the show to see how bad it is even though we hate it. If NPC was to advise an all-Greek boycott of this show, both collegiates and alumni, we can get this show cancelled. Similarly, we should all write MTV's sponsors and tell them of our decision to boycott this show. We must take action. Writing MTV is not going to do a thing. As long as there is money in it, MTV will keep filming. So let's take the money out of it. Talk to your national, write MTV"s sponsors and most importantly, stop watching the damn show. If all Greeks can unite on this, we can stop this negative publicity.

Fight on!

Hi Chloe! If you don't mind me asking...what campus are you at and what MC sorority is being filmed? The reason I'm asking is because a friend of mine mentioned to me that her sorority had been approached by MTV and I'm wondering if that's the same one.
