The ABC Family original series “Greek” returned tonight, and although I have absolutely no interest in my own college’s Greek system, I am hooked on the dating, drinking, and drama going on at Cyprus-Rhodes University.
It’s a fresh semester at CRU, but each “Greek” is haunted by the events of last semester. Sorority sweetheart, Casey, and her adorably dorky brother, Rusty, both struggle get over their exes. Rusty wallows over an electronic shrine to Jen K., but finally decides to move on after learning she made a very quick move to a new guy. Casey has the world’s most awkward conversation with her ex, Evan, but uncomfortable small talk is the least of her problems.
Casey and the sisters of ZBZ are saddled with an overly perky, hug-friendly sorority liaison, who will report their every move to the national chapter. In an attempt to redeem ZBZ from their public shame and pariah status – Jen K. wrote an article about them last semester that was not flattering – Casey throws a Greek charity carnival and hosts a ZBZ kissing both. But no one is puckering up, and it’s not just because of the Amish-frump outfits the liaison mandated. The ZBZs have been officially shunned.
Cappie, the Kappa Tau president and Casey’s ex, saves the day by rallying his brothers to visit the ZBZ kissing booth. But his knight-in-shining-armor act may not be for Casey – Cappie is currently hooking up with Casey’s nemesis Rebecca Logan. It’s Casey that he smooches at the booth, though, which leads her ex Evan to publicly humiliate her by stripping her of her Queen Bee title.
Sound confusing? It’s tough to keep up with all the hook-ups and break-ups of college Greek life, but this show makes it fun. “Greek” doesn’t take itself too seriously, which makes it a great guilty pleasure show. I have also become invested in the characters. I’m rooting for Casey and Cappie to reunite – their chemistry is undeniable – and Rusty is so endearing that I love watching everything he does. I am looking forward to how this season unfolds.
