Tom: Yes there are good things posted via the servers that contact some!
But, DAH, go figure, the possitive is so small compared to the Negative.

Are you sure it's that small?! That's certainly the impression you'd get if you followed Hoosier's postings. But then he only posts a certain type of article. There's lots of positive greek news out there. The sponsor of this site for one, greek101.com has a page where they show positive news about the greek community.

Tom: Now, why is that?

Certain things sell. Morbid curiosity perhaps. As consumers, we can make the choice to wallow in the dirt, to perpetually concentrate on the seedy underbelly of life, or... not. Hoosier chooses to collate anti Greek information and spread it around.

Tom: Maybe hoosier is trying to point out the stupidity of what is done by Greek Orgs. He is not calling anyone out but posting all no matter who.

Yes. How unbiased . I'm not sure the fact he seems to fall over himself to disseminate information potentially harmful to EVERY section of the Greek community is admirable or somehow better though. It does not make his activities any less inappropriate - his activities being an unprecedented and unrivalled level of dissemination and regurgitation of anti-greek media.

Mine On Fraternity has also been include, so what. If they F**KED UP, then they should be suspended. ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT??

Wrong with paying for crimes? No. And in none of the numerous complaints from GC members about Hoosier have I ever seen any suggestion there was.

Quit pissing and moaning about what is being reported and figure out what should be done to make it end!

There have been precious few complaints about what is REPORTED. If that was happening, the complaints would go to the journalists and there may be comments here about the veracity of the individual article. What is being '... and moaned' about is what is being DISSEMINATED. By him. Ad infinitum. Hmm.... banning him would make it end.

A search on Hoosier reveals 19 NINETEEN!!! pages of this stuff. He has - in the past - said "I luv the fraternity system" funny way of showing it... He's (if his posts are to be believed) a graduate of IUB (Indiana) with a grown up son. He also claims "I'm an old newspaper guy" - whether or not that means he slept under some on a park bench at one time or worked for one wasn't specified. We don't see articles he's written, just the more parasitic approach of a seeming neverending forwarding of online articles.
Hoosier's fraternity resume is unknown, I'd hazard a guess he may have been a TKE at college? The TKE mission statement incidentally is to aid men in their mental, moral, and social development for life; and the TKE Purpose is to contribute to the advancement of society through the personal growth of our members, and service to others. It seems they still have a little work to do in that regard, in relation to one of their alumni .

Again the central fact remains Hoosier has dedicated substantial time to spreading ostensibly anti fraternity and sorority information to a fraternity and sorority forum over and over again - often regardless of whether it bears much relation to the topic of fraternities and similar groups. No real explanation for that.

One 'pearl of wisdom' from him was "Hiding bad news doesn't make it go away." No Hoosier. But it ISN'T hidden. It's on the 'net. Doesn't mean I want people falling over themself to thrust it at me either . Just who does Hoosier think he is benefitting from subjecting people to this? In around 450 posts he's scarcely had one positive thing to say about fraternities or sororities or for that matter had many comments of his own beyond an implied 'here is another damaging article'. And people wonder why we question his motives???? WE CAN ALL USE SEARCH ENGINES, WE CAN ALL READ NEWSPAPERS.

As for his comment "I'm sorry, but I missed the rules that apparently say that only posts that everyone loves are allowed. Some people want only things like "my favorite color" discussed."
Being patronising is not pleasant Mr Hoosier. There are, precious few rules purely because it is a site geared towards adults and thus some emotional maturity is assumed. It remains unclear why you come onto a site dedicated to chat about greek life only to direct vitriolic information much of which is posted, in random forums on here often with only the most tenuous link to Greek life if any. As for the suggestion GC'ers only want to discuss 'my fave color', that is puerile in the extreme. Though a significant proportion of the user base here may be collegiate level, it does not follow that the posts are largely odious and vacuous in content nor would they be by virtue of the user base.

Despite it being made abundantly clear by many GC'ers over time how inappropriate and undesirable the posting profile is to them, the act continues.
"In watching for Greek news over the past few years, I'm shocked by the number of chapters being killed by National GLOs, IFCs, and schools due to hazing and booze. By posting clippings from some of these, I hope others will realize the big problem this is."
Most public spirited . I'll spare you more of his weak arguments, they genuinely centre around him suggesting the site is about Greek Chat and how his posts in his view nobly inspire debate in that vein. His cut and pastes are most likely only posted with the intention to stir up trouble. If I had nothing positive to say ever about or to a group of people, I wouldn't hijack their forums to push my own agenda .
