DeltAlum, I know it's an opinion and not a news story. But just that first sentence is so inflammatory. Again, can you think of any other group that it would be acceptable to say that about?

Plus I would like to know the exact circumstances of those "more than 60 deaths linked to fraternity or sorority activity in the past 2 years." As we've discussed before, on sites like stophazing.org, if a sorority woman is crossing the street from her house to another house it's labeled a "Greek related death." It's kind of like the Naomi Wolf death from anorexia stats. Very elastic.

And I still say, if you are displeased with this opinion from the editorial board, cancel your subscription. This is the main reason I don't subscribe to either newspaper here - one kisses the mayor's ass until their lips are chapped, and the other is so far to the right it makes Pat Buchanan look like one of the Chicago Seven. The mayor's ass-kissing paper did a story (even worse since it WAS an actual news story) about Waynesburg dissolving their Greek system a couple years ago. It was so slanted it was ridiculous. The part that amused me the most was that the reporter said "the majority of the student body is anti-Greek" but of the 8 students he interviewed, 7 of them were in favor of continuing the Greek system.

Once again...as Butt-Head would say, paper or plastic?
