You raise another good point though - if you're writing about folks on other campuses, how well-versed enough are you in the Greek system on that campus to really be giving information?
If you're spouting off second-hand information from friends/acquaintences who went to that school (or third-hand information heard through a friend of a friend of a friend), you're still running the risk of presenting the kind of information that 33girl mentioned above - who's to say that the information that was passed on to you wasn't biased? If your friend is in XYZ fraternity that directly competes with ABC fraternity (for potential pledges, for attention from sororities, for intramural sports titles, etc.), his opinion of them is colored by those factors, even if he isn't intentionally trying to be biased.
Of course, I'd hope that statedawg would rely more heavily on his own opinions and/or the info he got from his HS friends (who he mentioned have all ended up in different fraternities at MSU), etc. before giving too much weight to everyone's opinions here.
