And also, I think they missed a great opportunity to highlight what our organizations are really all about for Women's History month.

I got that one, and I'll admit that it was dead-on. If you want to look good to the ladies, then be a lady. Don't make yourself known on the campus as lush. If that becomes your identity, you will not have a flattering reputation, and you may not become Greek.

Don't forget that one night of drunkeness can lead to one unforgetful night where bad decision-making takes over. Por ejemplo, just one too many drinks might give you that liquid courage where you curse out the one member of XYZ that you can't stand, but she might stand in the way of you becoming an XYZ after that...

My inner writer has my mind just working.

I do think our leadership should get involved though. People have to learn (especially in the media) that you just can't go posting shields and trademarks without the consent of those organizations. Also, what if the list turned out to be a whole lot worse than it is? There are a lot of young people out there that have no clue and will take what has been written there to heart.

Drunkness is a bad look with all of those potential consequences; but stereotypically, drinking is less associated with BGLOs. At least, I never remember hearing a lot about it while I was in undergrad.
