Folks, this article was something I wrote a year ago trying to explain the Greek system's importance in my hometown to some of my friends who had no clue what sororities or fraternities involved. I basically highlighted the eight groups that I thought were the most important out here in California and nicknamed them the "great eight" after the NPHC nine.
It was on my personal website and intended to provide background for photos of what I was doing in college, not serve as a manual for the world which it apparently is now thanks to Google. As far as I can tell this is the first time anyone has found it offensive, including the numerous friends of mine in various sororities that "did not make the list," but I can see how it would be interpreted as a kind of national handbook instead of what it was meant to be. On the other hand, I don't think it at all rose to the level of say the USC TKE newsletter which ranked all of the fraternities and sororities by tiers. Sorry for the offense, but the text was never meant to reach the general public and is in any event gone.
