Here's the difference - a newspaper has to maintain an audience for its product. If it doesn't, it will go out of business. Any newspaper which alienates a major portion of its readership brings about its own difficulties. It isn't an individual - it is a business (even on the college level) and it needs to make its editorial choices based on that. That doesn't mean it shouldn't run individual opinion pieces - I am a newspaper columnist for a commercial paper and my raison d'etre is putting forth my opinon - but it should try to address both sides of purely subjective topics. If you are going to have an article slamming the sorority system it would behoove you to get another viewpoint in there, or understand you may be undermining your business.
