Newspaper articles aren't supposed to make the greek system look rosy and happy, if there are underlying tensions or incidents that need to be brought to light. For this article to gloss over or have not mention the alleged rape would have been poor journalism. This article seems to be balanced, fair and well-written.

It makes an excellent point - there are so many other options collegiates have than to join a greek letter organization. So fraternities and sororities need to be even more cautious in what they do, as well as increase positive visability in the communities they inhabit.

It does no good to get mad at a newspaper for doing its job. Journalism is not Public Relations.
