This petition is to ask the ABC Family channel to remove the show "Greek" from it\'s line-up. The show promotes false stereotypes concerning college Greek life and Greek organizations. They show Greek organizations condoning underage drinking, drug use, discrimination and promiscuity. This is detrimental to those who participate in Greek organizations and the organizations themselves because it allows the public to believe that this is the true way in which these organizations operate. They also neglect to show the academic, philanthropic and fraternal aspects of these organizations, which is what the true purpose of real Greek organizations is. We also ask that ABC Family remove the \"virtual rush\" program from it\'s website for the same reasons listed above. The questions asked through this program promote a false sense of true Greek recruitment to non-Greeks who may wish to join an organization in the future.

The feedback has been heavy and the opposition is loud but we are nearing the first hundred signatures. Please take a moment to push this forward to people who understand why this media representation is harmful. It is draining to keep fighting this battle alone so I need you to help me get this over the next hurdle.

Completely inaccurate show. Most of us are trying to keep our GPA up not throwing ragers every single night.

Total trash TV. Not even close to reality.

ABC Family needs to do better. My frat actually spends time raising money for charity and studying but they just show the drama. Take it off the air.

It is honestly just disrespectful to the hard work people put into their chapters and their studies.

This show is such a bad representation of actual Greek life. It makes us look like we do nothing but party and drink all day. Sick of the stereotypes.
