yes, there are some negative events that happen with greeks. but they happen with every organization. i cannot speak for other campuses, but at my school, the greeks are much more responsible in their behavior. We know that if we are caught doing something not only are we in trouble with the school, we have jeopardized our entire org. In fact of the alcohol cases turned into our social council, not even a quarter of them are greek related.
i agree totally with dzrose. because we, as a community, don't take a stand the negative image will only continue. Ethnic groups are not allowed to be portrayed that way. even athletic groups are not portrayed that way. (for the most part). why should we sit and take it? because it is true in a few cases? no. Every group has its problems but their negative aspects don't overshadow the positive as much as with greek orgs.
