Every time something negative hits the news, about ANY GLO, I say "there but for the grace of God". We all get hit. Every one of us. What irritates me is that the positive events don't get the same amount of coverage that the negative events do.
Examples: Tri Delta raises $15 million for St. Jude's. Thon at Penn State (multiple GLOs involved). DG Anchor Splash. Alpha Phi's Red Dress. Alpha Xi's support for autism. PIKE firefighters. Sigma Chi Derby Days. The Divine Nine's lifelong focus on service, thinking specifically of what Delta Sigma Theta has done (because I have some close friends who are Deltas here in Tucson). Blah blah blah blah. I could go on and on. You get the picture. All the good that is done is overshadowed by a very few stupid acts. Really.
/end of rant for the time being.
