My Big Fat Greek Recap

So yeah, here we embark on the great experiment called Sorority Life 2. People are very excited about this show. So excited they've felt the need to correct me on stuff I wasn't aware I'd even mentioned. So yeah, now I know that the DZO is a local sorority, as all national sororities forbade their members from allowing MTV to film them for this show. Also, I learned that the college is actually the University at Buffalo. So, that's cool!

Let's dive right in. Niagara Falls. Crap song plays. Shots of Buffalo. Buffalo. Buffalo. People walking. Trains. The campus. And then three girls. They introduce themselves as the girls of Delta Xi Omega. The main girl, this blonde, this short Talia girl, has a pinchy voice like Nathan Lane in those NyQuil commercials and is the president. She explains that the house has been in existence for fifteen years. The VP is Amy, and she says they're looking for girls who are down to earth and blah blah blah needycakes. They all have terrible voices. I hate them all. Talia explains that they like to party -- we see them partying alone, dancing alone, drinking alone, which is a danger sign -- but she says it's not on the top of their list. (On the top of their list is eating Entenmann's, shaving their pubic hair, and making fun of fat girls.) No, actually she says they like to help out and feed the dirty poor people and stuff. Loren, a redhead, says that they're small so they can get to know each other better. We see the girls chillin' in a hot tub somehow on the track during some sporting event. I don't understand. (Don't email me!) Amy lays down a nefarious warning to her sisters, that she knows all the girls' deepest secrets, but she wouldn't tell! A girl hugs a mascot. They have fourteen girls, almost half of whom are graduating, so they "definitely" need some new girls, says Amy in that accent she has.

Janel is the social chair. Hee. She's a chair. She has the put-together, bitchy look of an actress in porno films. Wow, these girls like the word "definitely." Janel goes on that these girls will be the future so they have to pick good girls. She says there's not one "look" to a sister. Then in another shot of Janel, where it appears she's ducking down taking a piss in some weeds, she doesn't look so put together anymore; in terrible lighting, she tells us that she "personally" wouldn't take a girl in a "stupid outfit" or with Daisy Dukes and "rolls" hanging out. Hee. God, that's awesome. Janel: stay sweet!

The theme starts. Credits. "Who wants to be ordinary in a crazy mixed-up world." I actually kinda like this song. (I'm not gay! Don't email me!) With the photos and the cut-out letters, it looks like some SUNY Purchase film school freshman project.

Buffalo. Buffalo. The fall semester begins. "Several" students consider rushing DZO. Two girls shop in a pet store. Cute puppy. They get a fish instead. Brooke, a sophomore, thinks a sorority is a fun way to whatever. She and her lesbian lover consider naming the fish Sparky. Brooke is very blonde and very cute. She's obviously a complete bitch.

Karissa is dark-haired. She also looks like a porn star. She has her boyfriend's photo on her laptop. Poor boy is so getting cheated on this semester. She doesn't think you should join a sorority just so you have some group to be "adjoined" to. Well said, girlie.

Melissa brushes her hair. She has a dead face. She tells us that her sister Loren is in DZO so she gets an automatic bid as a "legacy."

Erin works out on a track. She has a ponytail sometimes. She stretches, telling us that she came to Buffalo cuz she liked the Buffalo area and wanted to get out of Syracuse. Wow. Isn't that like saying you came to Dallas because you wanted to get out of Houston? (Don't email me!)

At the student union, Erin signs up. She says her friends think sorority girls are stuck-up, slutty, and stupid (uh, that's the point of them, right?) but she doesn't see that in DZO. Boo. Janel and Talia and sister Courtney walk around trying to get people to rush. Mackenzie comes to sign up. She is a junior and only hangs out with guys, so she'd like to have some girlfriends. I'd like you to have some girlfriends too.

Nicole eats dinner with her sister, ex-Sister Natalie. Since Natalie is in DZO, she thinks she has an automatic legacy bid as well. Nicole has a man-face, but I don't mean that quite as mean as it sounds. Mostly.

Janel and someone else meet Nicole outside the student union, with hugs and "oh my Gods" since she's Natalie's little sister. They want her to come rush, and everyone is smiling in that hateful way that girls do -- that directly comes from our animal side baring our teeth as a warning. Nicole says her sister said they'll love her and she's a legacy, so they "have to" give her a bid. Janel camera-talks that she hated when Nicole said that. Lord, I hate Janel's voice. She has a Mrs. Poole from The Hogan Family accent. Nicole leaves, and Janel and Tiffany C., some other sister, talk about how now with two legacies they only have four spots open. They're not happy about that.
