Does anyone find this offensive.

I was reading this and I felt it was kind of one-sided and even though I am not Greek, I was kind of offended by it. You can read it here:

as a greek I find this article offensive. Its horrible that the author would take a positive aspect of African American history and compare it to something that is destroying our communities today. Whoever wrote this needs to do some more research and look deeper into these organizations and see the real deal.

I think that's an old article. I feel like I've seen it before

Very Offensive, But..

If there is any thing good coming out of this article, it is the charge it puts on us to be even MORE selective in choosing "potenial Neos" to run our chapters. "Improperly made", & "inadaquately trained" greeks Neos, create an atmosphere where an article like this would be deemed necessary at all.

On the other hand, right or wrong, everytime I see an article like this, I visualize a potential who didn't make it on the other end of the pen. That sounds bad I know, but if I offend...

I've heard this argument several times which is why I agree with UNNOspr99's statement
