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
