"i was drinking at XYZ tonight..."

My favorite example of this happened this past spring semester. At the beginning of the semester, a student, already drinking, went to a fraternity house, got into a fight with some of the brothers (outside of the house) and pulled a gun and fired off a few rounds. Fun, right.

Well, over the next few days when the story was printed in the newspaper, the headline was "Shots fired at Fraternity House".

The fraternity was having a party, but it was a list party. The guy showed up and wanted to come in, but the brothers wouldn't let him, so he got mad.

The part that really ticked off a lot of greeks at my campus was that this kid was a FOOTBALL player (not that there is anything wrong with that) and there was NO mention of this fact in any of the reports!!!!!!! It said that he was a Clarion student, blah blah, but it didn't say that he was an athlete (do I smell a cover up?). Instead, it was all the fraternity's fault, when they never did anything wrong.

And another thing, it was in the parking lot of the fraternity, which is shared by 2 other fraternities but the one fraternity is in a lot of trouble because of it. Ugh!
