Fraternity Life is a reality television show that aired on MTV from February 26, 2003[1] to January 1, 2005.[citation needed] The show consisted of college boys pledging to become part of a fraternity. The show was a spin-off of Sorority Life.

First season

The first season occurred at the University at Buffalo. It followed college students pledging for the Sigma Chi Omega fraternity.[2] The fraternity ended up getting in trouble for illegal hazing and breaking into the Buffalo Zoo.[3][4][5] The fraternity has subsequently regained "on campus" status and is currently in "normal" standing with the University.[6]

Second season

The second season occurred at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It followed college students pledging the Delta Omega Chi fraternity.[7] Once again, the show got in trouble with the university. Two frat brothers stole a koi named Midas from a pond on campus and barbecued it and ate it.[8][9] This led to protests and eventually the revoking of the fraternity's charter by the university.[10][11]

The second season was also notable for featuring the first openly gay person, Keldon Clegg, to appear on either the Fraternity Life or Sorority Life series.[12]
