Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Rob Owen
Writer/creator Patrick Sean Smith gives Greek a greater sense of light-hearted fun that seems more authentic to the real-world experience of college as "the best years."

New York Post Adam Buckman
Rusty - as played by newcomer Jacob Zachar - is one of the most likable characters to come along on any TV show in a very long time.

Greek is a decidedly unromantic teenage soap opera.

Hollywood Reporter Barry Garron
Greek is much more than artful manipulation of marketing strategy. The premiere has several surprises even as it dares you to pigeonhole any of these characters. The talented young ensemble cast works hard to sell the stories and mostly succeeds.

Entertainment Weekly Gillian Flynn
Greek lacks the acidic one-liners that mark great satires like Heathers, but it strains against its conventional boundaries just enough to be enticing.

San Francisco Chronicle David Wiegand
Much of the writing in the first episode is competent, but it's hard to judge whether it will rise above that, because Smith has to spend so many words establishing the bases for all the plot developments to come.

All Greek offers is a predictable teenage soap opera set amongst the pretty people of fraternity row.
