The article that I started to link (an expose' into the fraternities and their hazing and image problems) is the sort of thing they'd be after. Not to say that Texas Monthly is all negative (I'm a 20 year subscriber) but they'd be looking for the story within the story these days.

I used to buy TM because I really did enjoy the articles - they were fairly balanced and well written.
I've stopped buying TM because over the last few years the mag has turned to having more ads and fewer articles. I mean, for a while it seemed they were doing a Texas Super Lawyers spread every month!
So now I don't buy it unless there is an article I really want to read.

I enjoyed the Mackintosh article. I had heard about the UT "Big Six" but never knew the exact chapters.
I do recall reading somewhere about Kay Bailey Hutchinson doing something, and the person replied, "Are you surprised, she was a Pi Phi from UT." Now I know why that statement was said.
