We from the major GLO conferences always complain that people's perceptions of our organizations are often shaped by local organizations that don't have moritoriums on speaking with the press placed on them. Perhaps this "report" by Mr. Roker serves as an excellent example of this.
It is time for us to look at our policies of not allowing our chapters to show themselves on MTV, not allowing our members to comment to the media. By doing this, we are forcing the media to go to these local organizations that may have represented us well about 20 years ago, but today? Certainly not.
They do not have risk reduction policies like ours, they do not have anti-hazing policies like ours, they do not have huge insurance premiums to pay like we do (although I know there are some exceptions).
I really wish that the press wouldn't have doors slammed in their faces all over campus only to be welcomed in by some start up local named Delta Tau Delta (in honor of their idols from Animal House).
