New TV show based on Greek Life
I saw the preview of this show earlier on ABC family, it seems a little risque for a network with "family" in it.

half the shows on ABC Family are totally inappropriate for kids....I'm pretty sure it's a teen network these days

They used to do this nifty little thing where before the shoe they'd show a graphic of a stick figure family, a kid, a teen and parents. And then whichever ones shouldn't watch the show were darkened and the ones who were "old enough" were lit up.
Not so sure if they do that anymore. But they have had teen shows for a while now.

This should be interesting
From the second I saw the ads for this show around my campus I knew it would be bad. I went online to check it out and low and behold what symbol did they choose to represent greek life?? A red solo cup of course. I'm pissed off about this show and it hasn't even started yet. Like Greeks don't have a bad reputation already and they are just making the stereotype worse.

Almost like actual greeks are involved! I always feel wierd drinking non alcoholic drinks out of red solo cups. Any other color I'm okay with but for me red = "No officer, there was no alcohol in the red cup I dropped as you pulled up to the house."

LOL!
And yeah, it is only red solo cups for me too. I went to a party with green solo cups ... I was excited--I haven't seen that ever before or since!

and im really disappointed in the red honking solo cup and the Sigma symbols as E's. im most disappointed at the tagline: "college. it's a rush."
can they fire the intern who came up with that one?

I don't know if this counts, but they do have the smaller ones in various colors like Yellow and white as well as the larger ones in yellow (haven't seen them in white). I always assumed that SOLO made them but, who knows?

man....it'd be nice to see NIC, NPC, and NPHC come out with some kind of joint condemnation of this mockery of a show.

There you go!!!! Another crappy show that is going to draw the wrong crowd or at least the wrong people to our organizations. This isn't Greek life. This is another crappy TV show by people who were probably rejected by every Fraternity or Sorority they ever attempted to be involved with. Be ready for the hail storm of questions from the incoming freshmen and be on the look out for posers who mimic what they see on TV actually thinking that ABC family is the authority on Greek Life. Every greek on every campus is going to have to work that much harder to find the people who were born to be Greek but didn't know it....
AND FOR THE RECORD I HATE WHEN PEOPLE USE SIGMAS AS THE LETTER E....
