![]() I wish that I spent a little more time socializing. Even though I am no longer in college, it makes me miss the wonderful college life. I have watched two episodes so far, I really like it. It's nothing new, but when it comes to college, nothing ever is. But everyone else should have a ton of fun watching it. If you get offended even at jokes about things that aren't-so-great about Greek life, then you'll spend the entire first episode, and probably many other, cringing and yelling. This isn't a show for over-sensitive Greeks. The opening scene harkened to an only-slightly-dramatized version of preparing for an actual formal rush in some sororities and it continued on from there. And are also very fun to play with just on are own, let alone to watch on a TV screen. As a member of a Greek society, I can say that a lot of the stereotypes that are brought up here are ones that come up almost every time someone starts talking about the sororities and fraternities on a campus. But tuning in with a friend from college found us both enjoying the pilot episode a lot more than we had expected. Another of ABC Family's so-bad-they're-almost-good shows. When I first heard about "Greek," I figured I would watch it because it sounded ridiculous. Greek is a great show, and the characters are easy to relate to. One of the biggest things that frats and sororities are known for is parties and drinking. It takes you into the truth of Greek life, something that a lot of people look past. I am definitely looking forward to the return of Greek. It was surprising and I continued to question her from the start, but of course, I did want it to work out between her and Rusty. So Jen K was fairly crazy, but she actually liked Rusty. I like how they addressed the issue of gay people in Greek houses, Calvin was a very real feeling character, and I really respected him because he stuck to his standards. One of my favorite episodes included him getting completely trashed at a strip club, and Rusty having to call Casey to bail them out. Cappie is one of the most fun loving characters, and absolutely insane. Her character evolved, and her relationship with Rusty became more and more loving and outgoing. Rebecca and Evan had an "affair" early into the season, which made you feel fairly sympathetic for Casey. Rustys sister Casey was pretty much the typical girl on campus EVERYONE is jealous of. Probably every college bound freshmens worst nightmare. Its hard enough moving away from home, and being forced to live in a small room with someone you don't even know, then come to find out. I love how one of the biggest things they covered throughout the season was the relationship between Rusty and his crazy roommate. The story plot was great, it gave you a character to love, hate, someone you want to be like, someone you don't want to be like, and of course a crazy roommate! It was one of my first looks at what writers believed Greek life to be like, and I can honestly say they hit the nail pretty dead on. If this is happening in your relationship, it should be a deal-breaker.So when I first saw commercials for Greek I did have a few questions to how they were going to approach Greek life, if they were going to give away sacred frat and sorority secrets, if they were going to focus on the brother and sisterhood a fraternity or sorority brings, or what most college kids think of Greek life as a huge party. It can break someone down to the point that they don't believe they deserve any better and therefore continue to stay in an abusive relationship. Some examples include extreme control, like tracking your whereabouts, demanding that you don't spend time without them, and telling you that you are no good, worthless, and nothing without them. ![]() She continued: "Emotional abuse can be extremely damaging. ![]() Sometimes this occurs alongside physical and/or sexual abuse but sometimes it can occur in isolation." "What is sometimes tougher to spot is psychological or emotional abuse. "Physical or sexual abuse are absolute deal-breakers in a relationship and occur more often than one might think," Ho said. Unfortunately though, Judy Ho, a psychologist and author of " Stop Self Sabotage," told Insider that it's not as easy as it seems, nor is it that simple to notice that it's happening. Whether physical, mental, emotional, or sexual, if you hear of someone being abused, it may seem like an easy fix to "just leave."
