Greeks: It's Not Just About Money, Alcohol, and Sex. We Complain a Lot, Too

July 31, 2007 06:17 PM ET | Alison Go | Permanent Link | Print

Because everything we see on TV is real, the national organizations for sororities and fraternities are up in arms over ABC Family's new show "Greek," Ohio State's Lantern writes. The show–which is not about big, fat weddings but rather debaucherous coeds with an affinity for stripping on front lawns and drinking too much tequila–has drawn criticism from sisterhoods like Delta Delta Delta, which condemns the program for promoting "the stereotypical and mistaken misconceptions about greek [sic] life." Fine, but let's back up here. This is on ABC Family? What? –Alison Go

sororities

just so you know- that is a very stereotypical show. I am in a sorority and we act NOTHING like that!!!!!!!

Sorority girls

Sorority girls are very much like the stereotype. Maybe they're just too blind to see it themselves? Didn't know someone named Ryan would be in a Sorority, either... Strange.
