WOW! I know many Murray State alumni (friends and family, Greek and otherwise) with a few friends serving as advisors for chapters there. I'm going to email 'em and see what the word is on campus and around town.
I agree that the "a few bad apples" seems to apply to the cartoonist. (if that is what you meant bekibug) My understanding is that MSU is (has been?) such a Greek friendly campus. Given the vast alumni in and around town, I just don't see Mr. Duckett's point of view as being a campus wide or community view. My feeling is that it is Mr. Duckett - along with perhaps some folk at the student newspaper - who is taking the low road and attempting to be funny with the misguided negative stereotypes of sororities. Frankly, I would not be surprised if there isn't a backlash from the town.
And I too thought Miss Crockett's reply was well done. She showed a lot of class. Which is typical of the sorority women of Murray State I might add.
