I disagree that Greeks are viewed as individuals within our society. Like it or not, while we are individual beings with our own motivations for doing things, we have chosen to be associated with Greek Life, and we're going to be stamped with the elitist, aryan, partying, sex-crazed stereotype. For all the good the we do-- fundraising, community service, leadership training, sportsmanship, being good scholars-- it just take a couple of idiots doing something ridiculous to make news-- and make us all look stupid, too.
As a group, we must educate our members and reinforce what actions are inappropriate for Greeks. Bad PR is what the media adores, and it perpetuates the Animal House stereotype that so many of us are trying desperately to destroy.
