SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- MTV's reality series "Fraternity Life" begins its second season this week on the campus of the University of California, Santa Cruz.

Last April, the 24-hour music network began filming at Delta Omega Chi fraternity for the show that ultimately got the fraternity in hot water with the university and police.

UC Santa Cruz students' reviews of Wednesday night's debut are mixed. This year's show revolves around the pledging of an openly gay student, Keldon Klegg, who KSBW got a chance to talk to on Thursday. Klegg said he's disappointed about how he appears in the show.

The show follows pledges through their day-to-day activities for 13 episodes. Wednesday night's show introduced the audience to Delta Omega Chi's members and pledges, including Klegg, who is a sophomore at the university. He is working on a double major in women's studies and politics.

"They didn't misrepresent; like, I am a gay male," Klegg said. "I do go to school, and I was interested in a fraternity at the time. I also have honors in my major. Well, I hope to. And I'm doing well in school, and I do lots of extra curricular activities. And it kind of made me a (two-dimensional) queer character."

Klegg didn't make the grade with the fraternity. Apparently, some of the fraternity members questioned his motives and were uncomfortable inviting him to join.

As for the show itself, students have mixed reactions.

"I didn't think it was too bad. I didn't think it skewed Santa Cruz in any way," said student Nick Bergeron.

But this was just the first episode, and the show has a whole season to develop.

"I guess we'll just have to see. I think it'll be interesting to see how they represent UC Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz community as a whole, because we definitely don't support fraternities,' said student Victoria Fong.

Klegg said he learned a valuable lesson.

"Fraternity's are not inherently evil. They're not inherently homophobic. It' takes people to be that," Klegg said.

The reality show saw some real problems while filming last year. Two members of the fraternity -- Casey Loop and Matthew Cox -- reportedly kill an $800 koi fish named "Goldie" that was a gift to the school. Their real life trial is scheduled for February. Both Cox and Loops have pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor charges of grand theft and vandalism.

By the end of the season, viewers will see the fraternity get kicked off campus.
