Amanda - I agree, but I would also be willing to bet he talked to a couple dozen siters who DID present a good image. That wasn't what he wanted for the article, so it didn't get included. The girl talking about drinking @ philanthropy was either abysmally stupid, or she was planning to depledge & decided to screw everyone.

The writer wanted a negative article, and that's what he reported. Whether it is representative of the entire Greek system there is highly questionnable. Bashing Greeks is the "in" thing now and he knew to do so would get him published.
I agree. Its always seems to be easy for the media to target negative stories. Especially with the need for shock value/ratings/money/power. I mean look at all the stuff that they cover just in the local news with shootings/deaths. H easy would it be for them to start covering stories about the full and accurate picture concerning Greeks. Both active and even those that are now very prominent members(Greek Alumni) of society. Why do they have to promote fear concerning the Greek Culture? I guess thats my beef.
