Oy, it was pretty bad. Everything is contrived, from the cutesy obnoxious bows that all of the "sorority girls" are wearing, to the rush interview questions and comments, to the acronyms - "SNSG" = "So Not Sigma Gamma". Not to mention that the Rebecca Black-looking chick is very annoying.
It's all fake! How are there "Sigma Gamma" standards when it's just a television show? After this, what?

I just can't believe all the NPC groups didn't put out a preemptive "don't even think about it" to all of their collegiate members. I was in school when the MTV thing was getting off the ground, and we got all kinds of memos from HQ.

Just because I'm mildly interested in this train wreck, may I ask where you were able to google find the whole first episode online in the US? Apparently my google skills aren't the greatest.

True Life
Yeah, It is a bit exaggerated but I do really like the things the American girls are saying. At least their not acting like mean girls. It's obviously a television show though.

sorry didn't read all posts so I may be repeating, but on the intro piece on YouTube a couple of the sorority houses shown are at UCLA--the Theta house, the AEPhi house and the Kappa that is shown is Kappa Delta, I believe, although the KKG house also has Kappa in similar script but theirs is bluish, and KD's is bronzish. Also, UCLA ADPi does have a red door! But I can't say for sure if the red door with chanting ADPi's is UCLA...it very well may not be. Some of the frat guys are in L.A. for sure ( can tell by the view). Maybe U of Southern Cal frat boys? Pretty good looking, which is more like USC!

I was very surprised to see the ADPi sequence. Surely that couldn't have been headquarters approved?

Probably not, but if you were making this show in England, what would you care?

I saw a short clip where one of the pledges is sent packing because she was "weighed and measured" and found inadequate. Reminds me of the "circling the fat" rumors I've heard over the years ... although, even at the worst, the "circling the fat" stories were more along the lines of "here's where you need to trim down - do a bunch of sit-ups or lift weights or take an aerobics class", and not "you're too fat, hand over your pledge pin, and don't let the door hit you in your fat ass on your way out".

I think it looks interesting, but they are basically turning recruitment/pledging into a game show ... and it shouldn't be that. Being the first sorority in the UK (truth?).
EDIT: Leeds? There is an AEPi there.

Who doesn't love blatant hazing that "you'll look back on fondly in 20 years"? Just have to say, if someone had made me hold Alpha Gam letters made out of ice over my heart until they had melted, I would have been out of that door before you could blink. I really don't see the purpose behind these "rituals".
