GREEK (typographically stylized as GRΣΣK) is an American comedy-drama television series that aired on ABC Family from July 9, 2007, to March 7, 2011. GREEK consists of 74 episodes of 1 hour.
STORY: The series follows students of the fictitious Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU), located in Ohio, who participate in the school's Greek system. The show's plots often take place within the confines of the fictional fraternities Kappa Tau Gamma (ΚΤΓ) and Omega Chi Delta (ΩΧΔ), or the fictional sorority Zeta Beta Zeta (ΖΒΖ). Throughout the course of the series, other non-Greek characters and situations are introduced, but they all tie into larger relationships with the Greeks. The series follows Rusty (Jacob Zachar) and Casey Cartwright (Spencer Grammer) as they endure the events surrounding the Greek system at Cyprus-Rhodes.
GAY COUPLE STORYLINE: Calvin Owens (Paul James) is one of Rusty's first friends in college. Calvin is secretly gay when he arrives at college, but he becomes open about his sexuality as he makes friends and bonds with his brothers of Omega Chis. On the season finale of Greek, Gregory Michael makes his basic-cable debut as Grant, a new gay roommate. Calvin decides it's time to get a new roommate and is assigned Grant, who comes out to him fairly early on. And though Calvin wants to keep their relationship platonic, their chemistry can't be denied.
