CSUTheta -
CSU's paper is available on-line, and yes, they have a very distinct anti-greek philosophy - I read a little bit about their staff (in the farewell editorials) - and, based on what I read, I can see why they are slanted in that direction.
Also, don't forget CSU's greek system has taken a beating of their own creation (3 fraternities in the last semester alone were suspended/closed/reorganized) - so, the grist mill is ripe for picking.
I would suggest that greeks start posting letters to the paper, from alumni and undergraduate writers, going over the positive influences the greeks had at CSU over the past year. I know the LXA Food Drive was a huge success, though not publicized at all.
There is an air of complacency at times when greeks do get frustrated with their lack of "positive" press - but, the question that chapters have to honestly answer is: how hard did you try to get the publicity you want? Good press won't just come to you, it has to take hard work to get out there. Bad press is easy - the masses feed off negative information. A sad commentary, I know, but that is where the challenge lies.
