Information Regarding ABC Television's Upcoming "Greek" Program

Dear Alpha Phi Alumnae:

This message is being sent to you regarding an upcoming television show that will be airing on ABC Family on July 9 titled “Greek.”  Many concerns have been expressed by both undergraduate and alumnae members from all National Panhellenic Conference (NPC) sororities.  As a result, NPC has prepared a letter for members to write to the president of ABC Family.  The show negatively portrays Greek life. As a member of the Greek community, it is your duty to stand up to the untrue and negative stereotypes this show is portraying.  I encourage you all to take an active role in this matter.  

Click here to download the letter* (right-click and "save target as”) that should be directed from alumnae to ABC. Make sure to fill out the correct form and fill in all personal information that pertains to you before sending. Feel free to personalize the letter as you see appropriate. Please pass this along to other concerned alumnae and encourage them to write ABC Family regarding this program.

Chapter Advisers and Regional Team members, a separate e-mail was sent to all collegiate chapter presidents regarding this matter.  A separate letter* (right-click and "save target as”) was formatted from a student perspective.  Please see that this information is shared with your chapters/regions membership.

Alpha Phi International will handle any and all inquires from the press related to the airing of this program.  Please immediately inform us of any media inquires you receive at 847.475.0663.  

Loyally,
Megan Jones
