Ridiculous article
http://teenadvice.about.com/od/facts...ingsgreeks.htm
Can you all believe this? This was the second thing that came up when I googled "Greek life info". Do you think there's any way that we can get this to be taken down? |

I wouldn't fret about it, though. Hopefully, someone who's interested in Greek life won't take about.com as gospel. |
Look on the left hand side column and click on "Forum." The forum is moderated by the host (who wrote the article.) Her name is Jessica Steinhoff. About.com is widely read. It may not be a bad idea to take Steinhoff to task over that highly inflammatory tip sheet.
Another good idea is to notify "Customer Care" of About.com. http://teenadvice.about.com/gi/pages/pform.htm |

It is posted on an informational site - so it should at the very least be accurate. I don't think anyone is demanding that legal action be taken -
|
Does anyone else think item 10 seems totally odd after she lists all these "negatives" about greek life?
|
Maybe i'm the only one, but although it wasn't all that accurate, I don't think it was all that bad.
There were things that could be done away with, but not everything listed was bad or negative. FYI: The article wasn't written by Jessica Steinhoff, it was written by Mike Hardcastle. |

I'm guessing that anyone who listens to anything on about.com or yahoo answers is too stupid to get into college anyway, so it's kind of a moot point.

Well, just in case we do have people actually looking at this article, I contacted customer care. I just received an email asking for the URL because they would like to address the issue of inaccuracies ASAP. The request I sent asked them to either correct the inaccuracies or remove the article.

i agree with epchick and knight_shadow
i also did not see much wrong with the article. GASP! it makes us look less that perfect. come on guys, it could be a lot worse. |
I never see these types of articles as talking about "us." :cool:
