My campus newspaper used to have a Greek page way back when I first joined, but then it kind of died out. Our chapters became relatively small, and members didn't have time to think about writing articles for the newspaper.

This year, they got the Greek page back. Every organization writes their own article each week about whatever they like. It could be about something the chapter has done, or something that they're planning to do. It could regard changes in their national organization's policy, or discuss what convention is all about.

And at the beginning of this semester, after a huge risk management issue came up last spring with an unaffiliated fraternity, the newspaper staff took it upon themselves to write an article about the strengthening of an already-established policy, which takes the stance that Greeks are not to affiliate or hold chapter events with unrecognized groups.

They also write about our Mr. and Mrs. PSB Pageant every year, and about ASA's date auction. From what I understand, Greek Week is written about, as well.

I'm not really sure as to their overall opinion of Greeks. From what I can tell, it has kind of shifted back and forth over the years. However, they have never written about Greeks in a negative light unless we've given them reason to do so.. which, fortunately, has not happened in a number of years.
