I was in a national sorority back in college and this is a poor representation of what it's like. First of all, no national org would let MTV come in and tape. Every sorority is different and even an individual national sorority is different on each campus so I can only speak of my university experience. As a pledge I never had to deal with the "sister police", curfews, etc. When I pledged I was treated as any other member. Nothing really changed after initiation, except I was an official sister. It was not near as petty and nit-picky as the "get a life" sisters on this show are. Also, Greek organizations don't vote out loud the way they do on Fraternity Life, and Sorority Life 2. The idea is that you don't want to taint each other's vote & it's kept anonymous.

"Entertainment Weekly" described the show as "those pugnacious pledges" and frankly, it's what makes the show so watchable. It reminds me of the girls I actually knew in college, whether they were in a sorority or not, and you have to admit there is non-stop conflict and drama on this show. A lot of it is self-made (as the mom of one girl told her "everything in your life is drama!") but hey, that's what makes it real. When the Real World began in 1992, these girls were only 8-11 years old and most likely have seen it throughout the years, so they know how to talk to a camera in confessionals yet they don't turn themselves into camera-aware hogs. I love when someone is speaking in English yet they give you English subtitles because they are so unintelligible -- it's a hoot!

I am so hooked on this show. I think that Jordan is completely misunderstood and not given enough credit. She's a tough girl. At first I didn't like her, but she's definitely my favorite one on there. I wish they'd show my alma mater, UCSB on a sorority life one of these days. That would be a HOOT. It's a total party school.10/10

Like many other girls, I had preconceived notions of what a sorority would be...you know, ditzy, superficial. The previews on MTV didn't help either ("I love to party!") After watching five episodes, it's my favorite show. I still don't want to join a sorority but now I see that many of these girls are intelligent and generous. My favorites are Jordan and Candace. I often look forward to every Monday night to catch the new episode. My only complaint is that "Sorority Life" is almost identical to "The Real World"...they even have confessionals! And there are no black people in the show either.
