"RUgreek -
Thank you for your comments! I think everyone here needed to be reminded that this is a forum for discussion and we are all just sharing our thoughts and opinions on the topic. I don't think this entire thread is meant to be a personal attack on Sigma - many of us are simply sharing our thoughts and concerns and reading what others think about it. That's what GC is all about."

I agree. Mistakes were made. We need to discuss them so the same thing won't happen again.

But...

No personal attacks? What the hell was that thing that UNFSigmaChi did above? That was vicious and over the line. It was somebody's opinion stated as if it were fact. It was absolutely uncalled for.

Even if it is totally true, it's the wrong way to say it.

To submit these women who are fighting for the integrity of their sorority to this kind of frontal assault is beneath the dignity of this forum.

I've said I believe they made a mistake. I've said I believe MTV has taken advantage of them. With my professional broadcasting experience I may be more worried about this than most.

But I hope I haven't sounded that strident. Everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt to some extent. And when a mistake is realized, everyone deserves some degree of compassion -- especially from their "brothers and sisters."

This is a discussion, not a bar fight. Let's all try to act like adults -- like the Greek family we are supposed to be.
