Most of you are much too nice. This is typlical hippy liberal gibberish, designed to hurt and timed to do the most damage. You can bet that the little leftist journalists are high-fiving over the response. Your response should be that while everyone is entitled to express their opinion, the student-funded (I assume) paper is not free to attack for the sake of deliberately doing damage to legitimate student organizations.
If it were me, I would organize all Greeks and immediately withdraw all advertising form the paper. All of it, dead stop. I would use Greek influence in student government to do the same. I would start my own publication which caters to my market, and I would send people to visit each and every advertiser in the leftist paper to let them know that they now have the unique opportunity to focus on that very same upscale market that the pinkos make fun of.
Money talks. Money makes the advertisers sit up and take notice. You are NOT obligated to sit still and stand for deliberate, vicious attacks on your character.
It does no good to "meet with the student journalists and establish a dialogue." They don't like us; in fact they hate us. And they hate us becuase of who we are and who they are.
Trust me, you can fight back and you can win. You can put them out of business. And if you think that's too harsh, think again. They'd put you out of business in a hearbeat if they could.
