But what can they do about it? If the stereotype was manifestly untrue this thread wouldn't exist.
I think mysticCat81 is correct when she says that chapters have their reps and people mostly have preconceived ideas.
Go to PHC and IFC, investigate and find out who did it, but I wouldn't suddenly go on some all out publicity spree, if for no other reaon than you don't want to draw attention to why you are suddenly generating publicity.
In the meantime, I think you guys should throw a party. A sister event or some such and just bond.
Think animal house, when the going gets tough, the tough have Toga parties . . Toga toga.

MysticCat81, I see what you mean, but that's not the only concern I'd have if this happened to a group I was in.
Freshman women could very well see that and think, "The Tri-Sigs I've met are nice girls, but I don't want to be attacked and insulted the way they are attacked and insulted...if that's the kind of disrespect they get on this campus, then maybe I don't want to be associated with that group."
No matter how false the rumors may be, no matter how wonderful the Tri-Sigs may be, no one wants to be spat on by their own classmates. If that's the treatment they anticipate receiving from the student body once they join, they won't join. That's why people are viewing this as an emergency.
