The AKAs, Deltas, SGRhos, and Zetas may be coming to a TV screen near you. Mona Scott-Young, producer of the popular “Love and Hip Hop” franchise that has expanded from New York to Atlanta and now L.A., is plotting to expose African Americans in a different way.
Earlier this week, the trailer for the “Sorority Sisters” reality show, headed by reality TV mastermind Young, surfaced. Within hours, the video disappeared from the Internet after Black Greek members caused a flood of backlash.

Despite high projected ratings, obviously not everyone is on board with the idea, accusing Young of profiting off the sacred sororities with mockery. Reynoir Lewis started a MoveOn.org petition to halt production, hoping to keep “Sorority Sisters” from premiering on the small screen. The petition states: “Stop the spread of ignorance and stereotyping of our beloved Black Greek letter organizations. Our founders amongst EVERY organization worked extremely hard to allow us to unite and flourish not only on college campuses, but as a people well beyond our college days, and Mona Scott-Young now threatens to demolish those aims and goals we all abide by.” The petition currently has over 13,000 signatures, with a goal of 15,000.
According to reports, the show is still in production, despite the cast being denied access to film at the Atlanta Greek Picnic this weekend.
