On my campus it is hard enough to get PR from the student paper and one of my sisters is a head editor. They don't want to tell everyone when we do good stuff or help out, and they always! ALWAYS print the letters to the editor trashing greeks.
I am in broadcasting, too. Let me tell you, if a story isn't "Sexy" then it won't get ratings. They have to get some dirt. That is the only way to make it interesting.. it isn't interesting when you have 75 women in a group that do community service, take care of one another, and get along. However, sororities are secret societies to an extent and if they could get some girls that are having some problems, trashing another sorority or drinking and partying... that would so get ratings. That is what they are looking for. On my campus, I know for a fact, that they could go to two sororities and have one hell of a show and the other five they would be what we, as Greeks, would expect, but who would that want? I know I am in broadcasting and it is my responsibility to present the truth, at the same time it is a business and so I know I have to sell things too! Last year we did a date auction (of men) with a radio station and raised 4,000 and they hated giving us the good publicity, I remember some of them making comments to the effect "It goes against all that the media has said in the past and is hypocritical". How sad.. how very sad. And for what ever sorority does this, (WE ALL KNOW SOMEONE WILL BECAUSE THEY WANT THEIR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME) I feel sorry for them because they really don't know what they are getting into! And Deja I know you are just being devil's advocate, but we always have to remember the golden rule of TV
