Where'd the picture go?

I wanted to check out that nudey picture of the sorority girls today, ( I was at work yesterday and couldn't view it, you know, I'd be canned), anyone know where it went? I am pretty sure "Delta Zeta" posted it.

someone asked that it be pulled down because it was offensive and we also didn't want a non greek person looking at that thinking thats what greeks do. I'm sure whomever posted it could send you the link though

It was not Delta Zeta that was being represented; it was a Delta Zeta who posted it. Theoretically at least.

I'm sure if you try hard enough you can find the picture online (it's all over the internet).

It was pulled because it's been discussed here before and it's not exactly the best Greek PR there is. I'm not sure the entire thread should have been deleted -- I think it needs to be discussed, it's a good example of how NOT to represent your organization, and if we just delete the topic every time it comes up we're not learning anything from it -- but the pictures definitely didn't need to be posted on this site.

Question

What picture was it?

The infamous "Bid Day pics"?

Yes, it was the infamous bid day pics.

It has been discussed at length in the past. Do a search.

If those pics are posted here again, they will be deleted, again.

I honestly don't understand all the fuss about those pictures...I don't think they are that bad. A little tasteless but not over the wall "terrible."

Good pr, bad pr, it's all the same. If we talk about hazing and related situations on these boards, I don't think this is really any different.....

I understand the pictures being deleted, but the post could have stayed and continued the discussion.....

Exactly - we talk about chapters that haze, that start fights, etc., but a post about girls posing for pictures is pulled down.

In my mind, both represent questionable choices made by the members; taking down the pictures is ok, but the posts definitely could have stayed.

Just my .02 though..

So it's acceptable to talk about sex and related foods and all that though right?

It wasn't just one person asking for its removal.

If I'm not mistaken, someone from the sorority's HQ contacted the forum's mod, who in turn let the administrator know that it had to be taken down.

I understand the pictures being taken down, I don't think anyone in the thread is disputing that....

The point is that the rest of the thread could have made for a great discussion for greeks as to what NOT do involving things like this...and if the pictures were taken down, I don't see how the argument for taking the rest of the thread down could be made...That's like someone from another HQ contacting the moderator of the Risk Management forum and asking for the removal of a thread related to hazing involving one of their chapters.....

It's information....it all makes for a great discussion....

If a discussion on "THINGS NOT TO DO" is necessary, then by all means, do it. Personally, I don't think it's necessary to use this isolated incident [and at the same time have their name dragged through the mud] as the only example.

The moderator uses his/her own discretion in deleting or closing threads. I know that I've been approached by my own IHQ regarding certain questionable posts...and even though I didn't think it was necessary to take them down, I still found myself in an uncomfortable position.

We've all seen how things can get ugly with certain topics here on GC. Great discussion topic or not, it's always a tough situation when national officers get involved, and none of us really wants to step on anyone's toes!

But, as stated before, we have hazing posts that mention names of specific groups all the time -- does that constitute "dragging somebody's name through the mud?" If XYZ headquarters contacted the moderators of this board and said, "Please remove the post about XYZ hazing in the Risk Management forum; we don't appreciate the name of our organization being degraded like that," would you, if you knew full well that the hazing act in question really happened and that there was information all over the internet pertaining to the hazing act?

I definitely agree that the pictures should have been deleted. I don't think any of us are arguing with that. It's just that this is something that happened and that can't be denied, the pictures are all over the internet, and there are even discussions about that very picture on this board (not mentioning the chapter name, fortunately, but it does mention the organization name). I don't see why it shouldn't be discussed here -- I don't see a difference between that and the hazing posts.
