it's Greek to me!

I do NOT regret: my inner sorority girl.

I'll admit it- there are a few (read: a lot) of shows that I am addicted to! Some are dramas (LOST, Brothers & Sisters), reality (American Idol, Bachelorette), and some are just plain guilty pleasures. One of these tv guilty pleasures is ABC Family's "Greek." By gosh by golly it is SO GOOD. There are a few reasons I'm addicted:

  • Two of the shows writers are from UVA (my alma mater, go 'hoos!), and so it is rumored that the Greek system on "Greek" is modeled off of our Greek system (from what I can tell, the show is almost an exact replica of our Greek system - except we didn't get that into Greek-Week, sigh).
  • The characters remind me of MY college friends! Like the best friend that is always up for anything or the fraternity boys who will put 4hrs into planning into a party but only 40 mins into their coursework.
  • The plot is verrrry easy to relate to! Most shows are a little too over-the-top (could an icicle reeeeally puncture your abdomen, Dr. Yang?), but "Greek" hits home on some of the things we all went through in college.
  • It makes me feel like I'M back in college. Honestly, I am not sure how I am already old enough to be a college graduate!? And this show brings back a great-nostalgic feeling for not just UVA, but for my Greek home Pi Beta Phi!
Anyway - I HIGHLY recommend this little show. Last night was the season finale, but it comes back in August! Can I get a Wa-hoo-wah!!?? :)
