I love being a Greek, so please don't interpret this message as anti-Greek.
I've been watching ER since the first season, and as far as I can remember, this is the first episode where they've portrayed Greeks negatively. The show has already aired, and thinking realistically, what could a letter writing campaign do? Prohibit the show from being shown on reruns?
I was really sad to see the young man die on the show last night. However, I am aware that things like that have happened and still happens today. I am a staunch advocate against hazing, and that was why watching last night's episode was really difficult.
However, it is the actions of Greeks that give Hollywood the ammunition to portray us this way. Greeks are easy targets for the media, and from what we've seen so far on TV and films, they're really hungry to portray Greeks in a negative light. Oftentimes many Greeks are overlooked when they do positive things for the community, and this is very unfortunate.
If some organizations stopped doing the bad things they did to their pledges/new members...then maybe Hollywood would back off a bit.
