Death at UMass fraternity
I'm sure it'll hit the media within the next day or so, so it's worth posting about. A sophomore died of a drug overdose Saturday night at the Phi Sigma Kappa Alpha chapter at UMass. There's been no word on exactly who he was- they've been keeping his name confidential until his parents are notified.
I don't even know what to think.

Think twice before taking drugs. As long as they're in our culture, there will be accidental OD's. And, obviously, it's not just a Greek problem, so let's not get hung up on that.

Aw c'mon -- at least he did a search!
He clearly looked for a reference to UMass so that he could tell us about his chapter of Pi Kappa Phi, which is on a mission to change the negative stereotypes associated with fraternities or frats.
Just wish he'd told us a little more about his chapter -- like how to find them on the web. But at least he did a search.

You may be right. Amazing how often GC pops up at the top of Google searches on Greek-related topics.

Amazing since UMass has been known as anti Greek, there is a new regeim that is beleiveing in GLOs. How do I know this? Because I have contacted them.
I am glad for them and us as GLOs.
If you saw my post on expansion, LXA was one of them which was our original Chapter. But, it will not happen for a year or two.

And I am sure they were thrilled with your input.

Lay off...
Read up on Search Engine Optimization. Not all posts with targeted links are "google bombs." It's actually a perfectly legitimate, very effective way of improving search engine ranking.
And what's so bad about it anyway? Doesn't seem so bad.

I'm glad to know this has a name. It's really annoying.
This is a forum for discussion, sharing, and support - not pimping your website (profit or nonprofit).
