Sorry folks,

I've got to weigh in on Leslie Anne's side here. The rest of this is all begging the question.

I read a statistic somewhere that Greeks in college, as a group, drink alcohol at some really unbelievably higher rate than the average student. I wish I could remember the number. Even I was stunned.

Besides, how can you compare a group of people who choose to join a diverse set of organizations to an ethnic group that is targeted because of color of skin or national origin? It's simply not the same.

And, finally, as Leslie points out, the writers aren't making this stuff up. It's happening. We hear about it all the time. Maybe (that's a very big word) the bad publicity will force us as a group to take a more introspective look at ourselves and clean up our act. Maybe then we'll stop killing ourselves and each other.
