That's true. But not just in Greek Life.
I have a nearly perfect driving record over nearly 40 years, but if I get drunk and kill somebody on the interstate on the way home this afternoon, that's the only thing I'll be remembered for. And, even with my driving record, my insurance keeps going up because of the other folks out on the roads who may not be as careful. And, we all know what happens to those rates when we get a ticket or are at fault in an accident.
I've said this so many times in these forums, but I have to say it again -- hiding behind the "big bad media is out to get us" is a copout. As KT pointed out above, "That's what news is."
One more time -- if you don't want to receive negative press, DON'T BREAK THE LAW!
Journalists didn't just wake up one morning and decide that the Greek System is bad. There are years and years of hazing, alcohol abuse, drugs and disturbances that created the reputation.
Guess what else? As much as I/we hate to admit it, a lot of that reputation may be deserved.
