Marcus is a scum bag who tried to sneak into multiple houses without warning. His point is wasted at here. At NU, sororities are nothing like their more southern counterpoints. Yes, I agree more intense sororities exist…in Texas. And maybe some things happen that shouldn’t. But the way this was done was not “discovering” anything. Marcus used previous acquaintances to interview and lied to girls he talked to about how they would appear on film. This is crap documentary-making.

Really bad camera work. Get more interviews, of actives, other girls than “Allie,” of guys other than your frat bros, and the Dean, throw some more alumni of the sororities maybe. Please try again.

I am a huge fan of this movie. It’s my favorite documentary…ever! It’s already on U Tube, that’s where I found it. Keep up the good work filmmaker, the world is now watching you and can’t wait for more brilliant work.

Absolutely fabulous job. Should be edited to eliminate any really direct northwestern connections and then posted on U Tube for all to see! This is media with meaning…which is rare these days. Many congrats to the creator.

So I found it interesting that so many people found this movie to be so ground breaking. While it’s good to support your friends it’s not good to lie to them. While it seems to be a sad truth that the sororities are pathetic least we forget the many pathetic attempts made by people who never make it into a sorority, and for good cause do they never make it. While it can be said that it is all superficial, I must object and say that, it is because that is the way the community has let it become. Social standards are much more widespread than sororities. How can one say that this is any new information, when I can see these ideas on the t.v. everyday. don’t lose sight of the big picture, if you this sororities are pathetic, or this film is some great eye opener, then maybe you should take a quick look around our COUNTRY or WORLD.
Silly loser’s only the best dress in the horse.

The truth that various respondents are denying is that we all urgently want to belong to something so badly that we will allow certain sub-cultures, like Greek life for example, to persist in order to gain a feeling of superiority if granted a place among an elite few. What we don’t stop and think about is how this perpetual system ingrains a discrepancy in our minds about what we’d like to become and who we actually are. What the film causes me to ask of myself is what intrinsic validation one receives by belonging to such a system. The film does not suggest this question cannot be answered beyond a superficial level but rather poses the question to the viewer to ask of him or herself of any system/membership to which he or she wishes to belong. It is brilliant.

Every word is true and all of you guys freaking out about it know that. “Anonymous” – let’s just call her A- was 100% honest and just told it like it is. If you are so vehemently opposed to what A had to say, maybe you should rethink the organization that you are a part of rather than attack a filmmaker who honestly portrayed what his source provided him with.

Just for the record, the “anonymous” was specifically told to over-exaggerate and make it very campy, and was told she was going to have her face blurred and voice disguised. I am in the house that the women in the documentary are in and THAT is NOT at all how rush is run.
