Angry bad Greek press - please check this out!

an open letter to the regulars (and everybody else!) of GreekChat:

There is a fictional movie about to open this fall and it is all about fraternity hazing, supposedly.

The producer or director, whichever he is, of the movie, is supposedly Greek, and the movie is supposedly based on a true story.

None of the above statements are the problem. The problem is that to generate buzz, the official movie website features a bulletin board with supposedly true hazing stories. It is all very sensationalized, and makes the entire Greek community look awful - I mean NPHC/NPC/IFC/ABC/XYZ, all of us... if you wear letters you will be disappointed in how this website is representing our community.

I would like to encourage all of you to take a look at this site, and to do what your heart feels is right. AND, if I am over-reacting, please feel free to step up and tell me! I certainly do not want to be one lone crazy girl on a soapbox over what might be no big deal.
http://www.followers.com

I would like to thank BCNUQT for the post in the Hazing board that alerted me personally to the URL in question.

another tidbit - someone who is affiliated with the movie has registered here as a user and has only posted or responded to topics that are related to or can be focused on the movie itself. Nice bit of infiltration for advertising purposes, huh?
