Sisters,
I saw this on the main GC board and wanted to bring it over. NBC is doing a story, well attempting to do a story on hazing. I am completely offended by this and actually responded to NBC stating so. I encourage you all to go to the link and tell them exactly how offensive you think what they are doing is.

Here is what I typed to NBC:
As a member of Alpha Delta Pi, I was not hazed. I know that hazing exists, but schools and chapters are drastically trying to change this. I find this 'in depth' study to be offensive. Greek's get a bad enough name because of hazing issues, you doing a story on them doesn't help the situation. Instead, why don't you use the power the NBC holds and support the Greeks. Why don't you discuss our philanthropies. How much money we put to our charities a year. Why not discuss how at some schools Greeks have the highest GPA's. Why not profile famous Greeks. Instead of tarnishing our name, why don't you help us bring Greek life to a better light?
Like I said, I'm encouraging everyone to go to the thread and post your thoughts about what they are doing. They wanted Greek thoughts, well they just got mine and I hope yours.

P.S. Sorry, I just get really passionate about things, especially ADPi and Greek Life and I don't want NBC to even attempt to run this smackdown on us.
