Hm. OK, I'll admit that I'm an alum so I in no way have the Texas Greek perspective.
I guess I can somewhat see it in the Tyler Cross case, seeing as they continually mentioned his fraternity affiliation even though that wasn't really relevant to his tragedy. At the same time, his death occurred at the house, right? Or am I wrong on that? I know that this is a very personal issue for you so please let's not discuss it if it's painful.
The main response I have is that most of what I would guess ticks Greeks off is things from the Firing Line, which isn't really the voice of the Texan but of anyone who writes in. And it's impossible for them to totally edit out any Firing Line letters that are anti-Greek. Although maybe they could be better fact-checkers.
I'll take your point but I still think from the perspective of someone like me (pro-Greek but not a Texas Greek, and a liberal at that), that overall the Texan seems pretty balanced and by no means as virulently anti-Greek as y'all are portraying it.
As someone pointed out we've hijacked this thread so I'll shut up now about the Texan. It's really not serious business.
