Sorority Life is a realitytelevision show on MTV that aired from June 24, 2002, to November 19, 2003. The show consisted of girls pledging to become part of a sorority.
Sorority Life as a whole has been reviewed by Citynet Magazine, with the reviewer noting the differences between the reality of sororities and the image that MTV was projecting in the series.[4] Citynet commented that MTV seemed "to think that bringing out the sorority stereotypes is going to boost ratings. Maybe they’re right, maybe not. Either way, I’m not overly impressed."[5] The magazine also noted that sororities with similar names to those in the show were also receiving hate mail from viewers.[6] Multiple sororities have come forward about the show, decrying the show's depiction of sorority life and politics.[7]
Spin-offs
Fraternity Life was a spin-off of Sorority Life that was filmed at fraternities at the same college as the sororities during the second and third season.
