Yes, not everything on GC provides a one hundred percent positive representation of Greeks. Some of them even re-enforce Greek stereotypes. But you know what? Not all Greeks, even the ones on GC, are the complete opposite of every Greek stereotypes. Some of us like to party a lot, some of us like to have sex, some of us like to go tanning, some of us drive expensive cars. You can say, "Don't post threads about Barbie chapters because it promotes the stereotype that Greeks are superficial" but where do you draw the line? "Don't post threads about sex and alcohol because it promotes the idea that Greeks are only about sex and partying"? "Don't post threads about your favorite handbags and Lily dresses because it promotes the idea that all sorority girls are materialistic"?
Yes, the actions of all Greeks reflect on the rest of us. But you can't control what other people do. And there are certainly big enough problems within the Greek system that online message board posts about "Barbie chapters" and disagreements between GCers aren't going to do much more harm than is already done on many campuses on a day to day basis. I wouldn't worry that much about what goes on here when a new hazing case comes up every week.
