Interesting New Reality show called Sorority Girls
I was browsing sorority life online and I came across this link for this new show in the UK called Sorority Girls. Apparently it is airing in November over there on one of their biggest channels E4 which is were Skins airs and our big popular shows over here (in the US) air on there too.
I am really intrigued have you all seen anything here about it? I can only find some stuff right now? I found some tweets about it on this twitter account as well! http://twitter.com/#!/12Yard http://www.channel4.com/programmes/sorority-girls I'm kind of really excited/intrigued/hope it portrays us in a positive light. It sounds different then the stereotypical movies out there that don't. |
The girls compete to become members of an all new sorority in Leeds?
I doubt any of the NPC chapters are in on this. |

I'm not sure, but it doesn't look like there is any official press stuff out yet on the show from e4- I found another link on it, but it looks like it's just the production companies stuff so far.

Let's face it, watching a group of people do volunteer work, participate in study hours, and conduct a chapter business meeting just doesn't make for compelling TV. Even if one of those activities were shown, it would probably be from the POV of someone who doesn't want to be there and is therefore causing drama. |
It would be neat though if it is about those things. I could see it being interesting if they have girls who are into philanthropy and then contestants who aren't I guess. Using my sorority skills I found those five girl's twitters on that 12 yard twitter. The one's suppose to be the 5 American girls and they seem nice.

I would watch this for the hilarious awfulness. They just won't get it though they think they do.
Love this part from one press release found online: "where membership means living in luxury and gaining access to the hottest parties and people." I know I went to school ages ago, but the Greek houses on our campus were far from even the late-1970s/early-1980s version of luxury. Even now, it's still the same fairly small old houses, hopefully a bit updated. |
/facepalm
I saw the advert for this yesterday. I'm pretty sure its going to live upto every single stereotype that greek women face: "oh mi god, i saw legally blonde/sorority row/greek/other random movie, and its inspired me to try to become a sorority girl!" I agree with Alphafrog, study hours/volunteering does not make good tv, this is going to be bitching, drama, parties and boys! I might, however, watch the first episode just so i can report back to you all! /endfacepalm |
haha that sounds like a good plan- Were did you see an advert? I'm really curious to see a video or something on it?

I live in England, and have E4 as part of my cable tv package...
It was more of a teaser trailer, it was a quickflash of some girls in letters (too quick to see what the letters were), a very blonde girl saying "lets get some great girls", and a few excited girls cheering and thats honestly about it. E4 is a bit like the CW, lots of youth programming, they air shows like Big Bang Theory, Smallville, Greek, One Tree Hill, Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother etc.. Alot of their home grown shows are a little weak, and unfortunately i'm not expecting this to be any different, |
Looks like it is a UK chapter of the Sigma Gamma sorority. I have never heard of them and can't find anything on the interwebz.
