Following the success of the MTV reality series Sorority Life, the network made the obvious gesture by switching sexes and coming up with Fraternity Life. Filmed at the University of Buffalo, the new series zeroed in on the "rush" process of the Sigma Chi Omega fraternity. "Brothers" and "Rushees" alike were merrily pursued around the campus by the producers as the frat went through its annual weeding-out process in pursuit of new and worthy pledges. Telecast in tandem with the second season of Sorority Life, Fraternity Life debuted February 26, 2003.
The lifestyles of Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and his wife, former Miss USA Shanna Moakler, are chronicled as they plan their wedding and move into a new home.
