Hi we're Joel & Lia and today we're reacting to sorority houses! "Step inside this new
-
Southern sorority house" don't mind if we do! Thank you. What do you know about sorority
-
houses? What's the lovely film I watched and it was like "delta....beta...." it had all
-
the houses. Legally Blonde? No, the film 'Greek', what's that about? Is it a film or a TV show?
-
I think it's a film. I've never heard of it. OMG Joel, you'd love it. Like a girl and she's
-
in a big like neck-brace and then she breaks free oh it's so funny! Coz it's all Greek
-
letters isn't it, alpha, beta, gamma.... all of that.... sigma. I dunno, it's just weird
-
because obviously sorority is the girl version, fraternity is the boy version, but I'm confused
-
do they live in the same building, is it just a club? I don't think they live in the same
-
building but I'm literally basing all of my knowledge off of one film. No but I think
-
in some films they all... they live in a big house that's a dormitory and they all live
-
there. Is that not a house party? No, it's like our version of student halls. Yeah, oh
-
wow! So there's some mixed houses and then there's all girls houses, all boys houses,
-
no, no mixed, just girls and boys coz it's America and they don't like ... no mixing.
-
Very Christian! No mixing. So we've got 3 different sorority type videos. Shall we just
-
kick it off? I love how much effort they've, firstly, put into all their clothing, it's
-
matching. Oh bless them. Bless their sweet hearts. So this is their house. The houses
-
are amazing as well! That's incredible, look at that! The houses are insane, isn't that
-
insane? Hang on, I feel like I know her. Here we go. I literally.... you don't know her,
-
she's halfway across the world! Sorry but that looks like someone I know. Looks like
-
a viewer that I met, that looked like Callie. See they all eat there and live there and
-
I'm just like this is strange. Why is there old people in there? Yeah that's not right.
-
Get them out. Unless they're teachers. Dorm areas, look at their dorms, their dorms are
-
amazing. The one thing I don't like about American colleges though is that you share
-
a room. That never happens in the UK you never share a room, you have your own rooms. I shared
-
a room at boarding school, yeah boarding school not university. Oh right! Yeah you'd never
-
have to share a uni room. You share a kitchen but you never share a room. Yeah by the time
-
you're that age you need your own space. Yeah, I remember my friend who did a year at NYU
-
or something she hated having a roomate, she was like it's literally like you've got no
-
privacy, look their beds are right next to each other. Imagine moving in with a stranger
-
and sleeping right next to them. I have done that but we were given each other's email
-
address and were able to talk to each other before. Wow. I just think, they put a lot
-
of money and effort into those houses, they look amazing. But why do they do it, why do
-
they do it but we don't do it over here, because it looks really cool but what's the reasoning
-
behind it? I just think we haven't got the money, we haven't got the patience. Well that's
-
the thing, colleges earn so much money because the fees are ridiculous. So like one persons
-
fees would like what? $100,000? for like 2 years? Yeah probably! I don't know how much!
-
But they've fully kitted out... all of the food looked incredible in that canteen as
-
well. It's insane! So let's look at this one. The title is "the internet is freaking out
-
about this sorority recruitment video" So they're trying to recruit members. Yeah so
-
like everyone's there and it's like which house do you wanna be part of? And it's like
-
a fitting in thing. Are you allowed to not be in a house? Does everyone have to be in
-
one? Yeah coz whilst you're in the deciding phase you're going to be coming into it next
-
year. No but do you have to be in one. Yeah, I think so yeah. Otherwise where are you gunna
-
live? I think there might be like an anomaly house for rejects. This film was very... outsiders.
-
But what if you just wanna live at home with your parents and save money? You don't, don't
-
just don't. Just don't. Just try and fit in. Well I would never want to be a part of this,
-
just look at how cringe these girls are, I've seen a bit of it already. Why have they all
-
got annoying voices? Oh that's so cringe. Imagine if you just did not wanna be part
-
of this, yeah and you would just be like I'm not doing it. I'd be at home in my room like
-
I'm not coming down to do that stupid video, like leave me alone! Oh my gosh Joel, that's
-
what they wanna do they love getting involved! They love it and they learnt the dialogue
-
and they all practised it and then the doors open and there's the clapping, like, isn't
-
it hilarious? It's hilarious because it's so unnecessary! I'm just like what are you
-
doing? Get back in your room, open a book. You're at college to learn, okay? Be insular.
-
Don't socialise! I think socially they're great, they all get together, but I think
-
these houses, from what I saw in the film, there can be like bullying, and being like
-
in with the 'in' crowd or not so 'in' crowd and you've gotta go there and be like "where
-
do I fit in? I'm not rich enough to be in this house coz everyone here's got a rich
-
dad" Like, it's really scary. It's mean. So if you don't wanna do it, where do you go?
-
That's a good question. No idea! I do think - my view of it is that I thought you didn't
-
have to be a part of it, it's just there if you want to be a part of it and it's really
-
prestigious if you get to be a part of the sorority house. Which is stupid coz it's just
-
a house with stupid letters. Maybe they live closer to campus? Or on campus? And everyone
-
else just commutes in, in a car. See I don't know! There are so many American films set
-
where people drive in, also why do all the girls look the same? I swear there wasn't
-
a single black girl in that sorority. Yeah it's not very diverse, they're all white girls
-
with straight blonde or brown hair. It's ridiculous, there's no gingers there! There were no gingers!
-
They're in their own house, honestly they actually are! They are, they're in like a
-
gamma house! This one, Alabama... Alabama sorority. An Alabama sorority has been criticised
-
over their recruitment video. Great, can't wait to watch this one! 'Bama sorority! Look
-
at them! Wow! Oh look! They all look so.... They try to be like Miss America, oh no they
-
do the fake laugh thing like "lets pretend we're having a great time". Why are they all
-
wearing white? Yeah because they're all so pure and virgins. They're not virgins, come
-
on. I'm at college! Come in! This is horrific, look, this is terrible. I would not fit in.
-
What if you're not a girl that's like that, what if you're not like a super girly-girl
-
who wants to be ridiculous. Oh no, what if you're like "Im not an Instagram model". They
-
all look the same, look at them. I mean they look like they're having a great time. "blessed".
-
Alpha-Phi. They're literally all white! Look at the house! UA? University of Alabama. That's
-
insane! Coz isn't Alabama supposed to be like one of the most.... it's meant to be a sweet
-
home... sweet home Alabama. I just thought it doesn't surprise me that there's racial
-
discrimination in Alabama. Oh it does not surprise me either. But you know, it's good
-
that the university said look this is not representative of who we are because that
-
is really bad. Yeah that's so bad. Like these girls in this house get to pick who comes
-
in next, like building on already a lot of prejudice, it's really scary. It seems like
-
incestuousness! Imagine like being in a bitchy house like that, like you'd just crumble.
-
That's the thing, are they actually all laughing and having a good time or do they all hate
-
each other and love drama? All their periods will sync at the same time which means they're
-
all gunna be in terrible moods at the same time, can you imagine going into that house
-
with all those women like .... oh my gosh it'd drive me crazy. It'd be awful! We would
-
not be able to survive that. No, we'd be in our own house, the J&L house! What's Greek
-
for J and L? Well we can't really say the J sound, because my mum's name's Yoanna but
-
in English that's Joanna, but Greeks always say Zoanna, because we haven't really got
-
the J sound. L is lambda. Why do sororities use Greek letters? Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta,
-
Zeta. Like what does it mean, like why would you choose Alpha-Delta but not Zeta-Theta?
-
Yeah coz in one of the films Zeta's like an uncool house. SO all of these ones that you're
-
like Oh I can't possibly be Phi.... oh no that was one of the cool houses. Or like Delta-Nu,
-
that's in a film somewhere, Delta-Nu, that's probably in Legally Blonde. Yeah, so loads
-
of questions about sororities, yeah we'd both hate it I think, unless we found like a really
-
cool house with like really cool people. Yeah, but just the sheer amount of people in that
-
house as well would just be awful, it's bad enough ... I live with 3 other people, so
-
there's 4 of us in the house and I'm already like i don't wanna live with 4 people (well
-
3 people), it's too many! Too many people. Yeah I feel you, I get it. Too many housemates
-
spoil the broth. That's what they say. Exactly, or the potion, in last nights house video....
-
Joel had a Harry Potter party last night, Harry Potter themed birthday party for my
-
housemate. And he went as a broomstick. Insert photo here. It was fantastic. It was great!
-
It was such a fun party! So yeah! At the HP House! Right guys well that's our reaction
-
