For those yelling about journalists/journalism:

After a writer makes copy, it is out of their hands. It may go to sub editors, copy editors, editors, web posters, the janitor, etc. There job is to get as much correct as humanly possible. Sometimes it comes back for clairification. Other times the copy edit desk makes a copy change based on an assumption...something may be correct in grammar, but the change means something similar but different. Other times, during page placement/web placement, paragraphs get cut/pasted, and sometimes in the wrong order. It happens. Journalists, newsdesks, and printers are HUMAN. We do our best, but mistakes are what corrections are for.

In addition, many papers don't have style guides on Greek Life. (example, calling a sorority a sorority when it is in fact a fraternity). It is not in the AP style guide, so often they just go by what they know, and if it is a last minute thing, it may very well be wrong. Best thing to do? Send a letter with the CORRECT style (prefering to be called a fraternity), to help them avoid these things in the future. Perhaps get the local Alumn Panhellenic to send a "brief of information" about each sorority in the area...they probably allready have one made in some sort of compact form. Papers do hang on to these things.
