Los Angeles, CA -- Sorority and fraternity hazing could be the next TV rage.

The Game Show Network is launching a new four-episode series called "National Lampoon's Greek Games" in which teams perform messy and embarrassing physical challenges.

Host George Gray -- who used to host of "The Weakest Link --" calls the show "an excuse for girls to wiggle in corn syrup."

Besides the "Gooey Ten-Yard Dash" through three inches of corn syrup, there's the "Geek Distance Throw" where the team throws a bookish character as far as possible into water and "Human Baklava" where contestants stuff bread down their pants.

The job is a second chance for Gray, who missed out on the frat fun in his younger days. He says he joined an academic fraternity for lawyers, and quickly found out he had nothing in common with them at all.

The reward for the winning fraternity and sorority is a free trip to the Greek island of Mykonos.

"Greek Games" premieres on July 13, on GSN.
