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.
