This isn't a wake up call for DKE, but for all Greeks, again - the media presenting the typical negative stereotype of the minority of chapters/individuals - let's face it, the bad things a few of us do will always get more ratings that the good and positives the vast majority do.
That's why the media presents these things though. If all they reported was ABC fraternity is doing X philanthropy and ignored all of the real problems in the greek system they'd be doing us a disservice.

It is the media's job to report on the flaws and scandals in our society. It is not our place to say that they are presenting negative stereotypes. We as greeks need to stop portraying those stereotypes (and disassociate those that do immediately). Until the Greek community as a whole can catch up to the rest of us in the 21st century I see no end to this stuff.

LHT,
Kevin
