As a former editor of a student newspaper, here are some options that make you and the Greeks look good.
1) Write letters to the editor. All of you. While the paper may be editited by a non-Greek, a responsible editor cannot ignore angry readers. It's negligent and unprofessional.
2) Meet with the editor. Do not try to find the writer as he or she will have no authority. Tell the editor how you feel WITHOUT being confrontational.
3) Write an article of your own. Most student papers are hurting for content, so the likelyhood of getting published is good. However, DO NOT write a PR piece. If the article uses adjectives throughout, then it won't be published. Hell, have your pledges apply for jobs. You benefit becasue you have someone who knows Greek life and the paper benifits becasue it's getting new writers (Note, that this only works if pledges can, in fact, write).
