I totally agree that this forum consists of a lot of negative things about Greek life. However, how exactly are the members of Pike supposed to clarify a rumor that you heard from a friend about the national orgs history of hazing? It wasn't a specific incident nor did you have any evidence to support that kind of claim. This isn't really the place to address a random rumor you may have heard. If you have a question about their policy on hazing maybe phone the national headquarters or look at the national website. My point only was that if the same thing had happened in reference to your organization I think you would have been just as irritated. (hence my reference to the wonderful Golden Rule).
It isn't ignorance to ask for respect for all Greek organizations, it is a courtesy that we should all give each other.

Just to reitterate (sp?), it's not that any org's members are denying that their chapters screw up and are simply "whining" about the incidents being made pubic, but as Greeks, we should have the common courtesy to not post RUMORS or 2nd hand info that put the integrity of an entire org. in jeopardy. This courtesy is especially important considering the number of potential GCers who are not yet members of the Greek community, or who may be the parents of an individual who desires to go Greek. Or more simply put by OtterXO, just stick to the golden rule!
