Personally, I think that MTV is known for sensationalizing many of the stories that they cover.. And why not.. it makes good tv.. good tv eyals good rating. But IMHO, I don't think that MTV will give a fair sided view on this.
If they were really going to do a story on greek life, why not approach the HQ of a GLO or the Pan or IFC or anything HQ... Give equal coverage to both sororities and fraternities, mutlicultural orgs, ect. We all know that as one member does not represent an entire org, neither does one chapter. I don't know if it's an NPC rule, but I know we are not allowed to talk to media as a representative of the entire org. I think that it's a good policy, and for the most part keeps you from saying/doing anything stupid and that can be taken the wrong way.
I'm not saying that approaching a local is a bad thing, but i don't know if locals are governed nationally (hence the name local??) and therefore can represent themselves.
