Thank you!

I was watching the fourth episode last week with my non-Greek friend; after the fraternity said, "How hard do you want us to haze them?", I then got to explain for 20 minutes that I was not in fact hazed by fraternity guys. This show is every risk management violation rolled into one

Watching this show, all I can think is how much I despise the American girls, and how much I want to hang with the pledges.

I remember reading that both the AEPi and ZBT at Leeds wanted to get on the show. Has anyone heard/seen more episodes than what is posted to say if this happened?

Only four have aired so far. They did bring in some frat from FSU, but I don't know which one it was.

Would that happen to be episode 4? I know quite a few Greeks up there, not just my group.

Yeah, there were eleven guys, and obviously they portrayed it as though they were all from the same (unnamed) fraternity, but who knows if that was really the case?

I'm so embarrassed to admit I am following this show, but sometimes the British girls and the announcer are so damn funny. The culture clash makes it great.

OK I confess, I've been watching it too, some of the British girls are hilarious, I have a definite Rush Crush, and I'll be surprised if she doesn't make it to the final!

Okay, I love Katie and Maxine, and Khloe in her own weird way. When the boys picked Sophie, I was like "who"? Also, Helen says some of the funniest sh*t. I loved the reactions to having to decorate paddles.

Curious, where did you find this info? I have been searching and I can't find anything anywhere.

Do you know which one is in which organization?

[Leslie Anne]

It's pretty obvious once you find them on twitter, facebook, etc.

Amelia is a Kappa Delta.
Arianna, Devan and Hannah are Delta Gammas.
The last girl (can't think of her name) with the long black hair is a Tri Delta.

ETA: Her name is Dominique.

Maybe it's because I was really tired when I was watching the episode last night, or it might just be a regional thing, but what exactly is the point of favours? I think that doing something useful for someone is a fantastic way to give back to the community, but giving people hand massages? I suppose the argument can be made that you are relaxing people, but I feel there are better ways to give back

I'm surprised that none of the pledges has said "Eff this, I'm outta here." The winning team in each pledge challenge gets a perk like a night out on the town or a spa day, and is also immune from elimination from the pledge class, while the losing team has to clean the house or set up for a party, and each member gets grilled on why she should be allowed to stay in the sorority. And it's just harsh, the way they use a lipstick to cross each eliminated pledge's photo off the composite.

This is not how the NPC new member process works. For one thing, once you've received and accepted a bid, you will be initiated unless you choose to depledge - the chapter can't kick you out. For another, many of the activities the pledges are being made to do are outright hazing.

I hope that the five women who are selected to become full sisters don't take away the wrong message. There's not necessarily anything wrong with a chapter eliminating a new member or three - rush happens pretty quickly, and it's tough to make good informed decisions when you and your sisters have met each PNM for a total of maybe 3 hours - you could end up pledging someone who turns out to be the campus slut, a complete psycho, or just simply a really bad fit for the chapter. But "you must choose 14 women to pledge, and then cut nine of them, one each week, until you end up with only five women who will be initiated" is pretty extreme. If you're cutting 64% of your pledge class for being "weighed and measured and found lacking" you made some piss-poor decisions during rush! I hope that, when the Americans go home and the Chosen Five are in charge, the Chosen Five understand that they don't have to make such harsh cuts during pledging.

Then again, this is reality TV. The powers that be obviously thought they'd get a much more entertaining show if they turned rush and pledging into some warped version of "Survivor".
