James is correct.
Here's the real problem, I think. The reason the other events are relavent is that they are all Greek related and all alcohol related. And they all make the entire Greek System -- everywhere -- look really bad.
Heck, we were lucky. There are several other occurances they could have noted from this year alone, without even mentioning "The V's." Bad journalism? Not necessarily. Background is an important part of reporting. Consider this: What if this story had been about the DU's doing some great philanthrophy? Wouldn't you applaud the same reporter for finding stories of other philanthrophy by fraternities whether on the UNL campus or not? You can't have it both ways. If you want to be painted with the same brush when something good is done, you have to be willing to take the grief when something bad happens.
While, in theory, under the strict letter of the law actives don't haze actives, this is still stupidity -- on several levels.
