First season

The first season occurred at University of California, Davis.[1] It followed 6 girls over 10 weeks as they pledged Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi, a 4-year-old Jewish sorority that was relatively unknown on campus at the time.

Second season

The second season occurred at University at Buffalo.[2] It followed 6 girls pledging for the Delta Xi Omega sorority.

Third season

The third season occurred at the University of Southern California.[3] It followed girls pledging Zeta Sigma Phi, an independent multicultural sorority on campus founded in 1994.

Reception

Sorority Life as a whole has been reviewed by Citynet Magazine, with the reviewer noting the differences between the reality of sororities and the image that MTV was projecting in the series.[4] Citynet commented that MTV seemed "to think that bringing out the sorority stereotypes is going to boost ratings. Maybe they’re right, maybe not. Either way, I’m not overly impressed."[5] The magazine also noted that sororities with similar names to those in the show were also receiving hate mail from viewers.[6] Multiple sororities have come forward about the show, decrying the show's depiction of sorority life and politics.[7]

Spin-offs

Fraternity Life was a spin-off of Sorority Life that was filmed at fraternities at the same college as the sororities during the second and third season.
