The problem is that it's not really a news article, it's a column, which is pretty much open to anything the writer wants to say. It smacks more of "I have six inches to fill and need something quick so I'll just slap down a bunch of stereotypes and put it to bed" than an actual column. It doesn't matter what it's about as long as it's controversial. Because either way, the column will get readers. It'll get those who agree wholeheartedly with the writer in how much GL sucks at that campus and then they'll get the offended members and alumnae of the Greek Community who will write in letter after letter trying to disprove her column. Writer sits back, satisfied she has done her job as a top-notch journalist. Yech. That's why I never, ever wrote for our college newspaper. Can't stand the press-room politics.
I still think she's a crappy journalist. And a crappy editor. The headline has nothing to do with the column and fails to pull the reader in. I give it a D-. (I was too nice before)
