I feel you to a certain degree on your points. I never ventured past that article, so I have no idea what the site is like. I thought it was something like "Honey" or "Sister to Sister" or whatever those Black Women magazines are. Like me, I'm sure those Omegas thought they were just speaking with a female journalist (albeit a terrible one). Either way, I don't see it as a fraternity endorsement of pornography.
As far as Snoop is concerned, thematically, I can see your point, but specifically, it does not apply to the video concept nor the lyrics of the particular song, which I don't recall being misogynistic, glorifying violence, and/or drugs. Again, I don't see this as the National Body promoting negative behavior. There is a such thing as guilt by association but I think that your point goes further than is warranted.
Lastly, there are Omegas in music and comedy and whose rountines can be quite adult and raunchy. Do Steve Harvey, Joe Torrey, and Ricky Smiley disgrace the Frat by telling dirty jokes for a living? By your thesis, they certainly do. Its all about context and purpose. I do agree with you on a macro level, but your criticism is too broad for some of your examples.
