Wow finally a thread that that resembles an actual conversation rather than a bitchfest. I'll give you all a little insight in hopes of maybe clearing the air.
Imagine your impression of DOC if you had never read about a Koi. You wouldn't really have one. The newspapers have destroyed DOC's reputation, including my own and Matt's, before anyone really knew us. I am happy with the show so far because everyone expected some huge explosion of stupidity. Don't get me wrong, we do some incredibly stupid stuff, but through it all there IS something more to that. All I ask of anyone is that you don't judge my guys based on what you've read in the newspapers.. it's f*cking crap.
Isn't it convenient that a Fraternity with national exposure gets so damaged by an administration that hates greeks?
Funny how the administration was willing to flat out LIE and say I confessed and everything was handled days before a friggin riot. I've done some stupid things in my life, but I'm not THAT stupid.
As for the hazing.. funny how we don't have to worry about that while we're temporarily off campus. (Yes temporary.. we've already begun talks to get back on campus... you don't read that in the papers. Why? Damage control) UCSC doesn't even believe we are involved anymore. Retractions don't make headlines.
If you know your administration is going to boot you for making a pledge wear a pledge pin, you might as well get it out of the way before they get the satisfaction.
Lastly, if everyone wants to spend all this effort prosecuting a trial against me that *cannot* be won, they aren't doing a whole lot of other investigating. They are so blinded by their bias that they just plow on.
Look.. we may be 'stupid fratboys', 'ass monkeys' ,'surfers', or whatever you want to call us.. but we are college educated. You don't go on national television without some sort of a planning. The only reason we look so bad is because the school has been the only people feeding the press and their sole intent is to appease their anti-Greek students.
I'll be right here talking sh*t with you guys when we look stupid. (Like the 13th pin.. WTF was that? But ya know, thats life) I just don't want anything to be manufactured, and so far it has been the media manufacturing the truth, not MTV.
