Sometimes it's better to say nothing...
 

The article I linked here is pretty typical; it's the comment below that I found offensive. Scroll down to the end of the article.

When you post as a member of any fraternity or sorority, you are theoretically representing Greeks in general. If you are going to "fight back" or respond to an anti-greek opinion piece, please least do so with some class. Proper grammar and a statement of argument (as in, "I disagree with what you wrote because .....") would help too. Otherwise, you are just feeding into the sterotypes.

That made me LOL. :o

Yikes! All I can say right now is thank God "our" unfortunate mouthpiece is a member of a fraternity and not a sorority. Can you imagine having a Tiffany Earp?!? :eek:

Who knows why he posted what he did, it's definitely not representative of the Greek population. This behavior can be shown amongst Greeks or non-Greeks.

Why am I not surprised that Earp was the first one to post a response.... :rolleyes:

Please let that be a poser and not the real Tom Earp.

That's an opinion piece and I would have posted it on here for all to comment instead of commenting on the actual article.

:eek::confused::rolleyes::cool::mad:;):o:)

Rise above the article and strive to set greater examples!

So, I just wonder how long it will take for some to finally stand up to this kind of posting of people and writers before some one else speaks up?:rolleyes:

You make fun of me when this writer posts things about You, Me, and Other GLOs whether they have no true facts?:mad: Just Who Is This Person?

Get off of your dead rears and ask the same thing I did or can you not?:p

You want to complain about Me. Why don't You complain about what this person wrote?:rolleyes:


I am proud of what I did and still do as A Greek, are you?:rolleyes:

Meow, what is up puddy cat?

Argh!

Are you a leopard and change your spots?

Oh, You are special?

Paging Drolefille!!!
:p

The issue should be the article--not Tom's response.

As re-Xi said, the article is pretty typical.

People sing their criticisms and praises of Greek Life everyday.

Frankly, I think it's fair for both to be at issue.

As DSTChaos says, the article is nothing new. Reasonable, and I think persuasive, arguments can be made to refute its claims.

Unfortunately, the response instead resorted to infantile ad homimen attacks (such as "you are are a piece of crap" who apparently "got dished when trying to join a GLO") that do nothing except reinforce the negative stereotypes represented in the article in the first place.

Those types of responses are only great for message boards. :)

the only time I am aware of such articles is when they are mentioned on GC. thus they are not common place to me. but i get your point.
