I think people still "fear" greeks and the reputation they will bring to a college. It is unfortunate that we are protrayed in such a party-party-party type of attitude by the press. However, the press can be an amazing tool.
If you just finished a review, then you have a massive list of all the good that is contributed by the greek system. Greek organizations bring Nation wide recoginition to a school. AKA FREE ADVERTISEMENT. They positively impact the local community in volunteer services, economy, and reputation. They can also negatively impact the community in the same area's.
I would suggest you contact your local paper, as well as your campus paper. See if there is someone who will do an artical on the Pro's of greek life. Sisterhood, Academic support system, community service, school pride (read alumni contribution after Graduation)
If the newspaper won't do an artical, then write an informed and unbias ( or a close as you can come to it) view of the pro's of greek life. Touch briefly on the negative aspects, but combat them with things such as learning communities that all greeks attend or host to reinforce the positive.
Good luck ( and may the turtle be with you! LOL)
