I have no doubt that they're all about fun, friendship, and no bullshit. But they're not just affecting the 95% of UCSC who doesn't give a shit about them-they're affecting all of us. Beyond that, I hardly agree that they aren't about drama. I would go so far to say that they, as with many many many other groups of people, thrive on drama. From what I've observed, they love the stigma that they have- they love playing off of their reputation for being the crazy guys who don't give a f***. But they create drama all the time, why else would mtv film them? I don't really understand the high road that DOC and their friends/supporters seem to be taking. One of their members wrote to the local paper and stated that he was offended by the portrayal of Greeks in a recent article about the fish scandal. Hello....why do you think the general public keeps holding on (and publishing) these stereotypes- including but not limited to the use of the word "frat" instead of "fraternity"? Possibly because groups such as DOC keep putting themself in the public eye and perpetuating exactly the kind of behavior that they're renouncing. If that isn't drama, I don't know what is.
