With the announcement of the second season of ABC Family's Lincoln Heights they unveiled a new original TV series Greek. There is little known about the new series, except that ABC Family has ordered 10 episodes, and that it follows the story of Rusty, (played by Jacob Zachar), a college freshman who, as a previous high school geek, wants to have fun in college. He wishes to join a fraternity, but his sister Casey (played by Spencer Grammer) does not want him to interfere with her current enjoyment of Greek life, especially since she is running for president of her sorority. It is also known that Jessica Rose, popularly known for her role as Bree in the lonelygirl15 internet series, will be a recurring character in this television series. Other regular cast members include Scott Michael Foster, Jake McDorman, Paul James, Clark Duke, Amber Stevens and Dilshad Vadsaria.
On May 17th, 2007 after the ABC Family airing of The Sixth Sense, a commercial appeared showing the storylines of the seasons, and the premiere date was disclosed as Monday July 9th.

Name of the Show
- ABC advertises the name of the show spelled with the Greek letter Sigma (since it resembles an E in the English alphabet) instead of Epsilon. Taken literally, the name of the show is actually GRSSK, since Sigma is the Greek letter for S. E is derived from the Greek letter epsilon which is much the same in appearance (Ε, ε) and function.
Controversy
- A grassroots effort among some college students in the Greek system has emerged to fight against the show, claiming that it is an unfair stereotype of the Greek system.[1] The effort is largely online, and includes an online petition to take the show off the air.
