By no means was there no effort to highlight positive aspects of Greek Life.
Seems to me that time might be better spent collaborating together to communicate toward renegade chapters/orgs that actually practice the sort of antics which fill up the GreekChat Risk Mgmt forum than collaborating to write letters to an author telling her how much you think she sucks.

People are going to write hate mail, and won't change the fact that the book has been published, and it won't change the author's opinion.
I think we should do exactly what we've been doing. Continue to work with NPC on risk management programming and provide this programming to all NPC members. There are going to be a few chapters that carry things to extremes. They will be exposed and they will be closed down. But meanwhile, NPC chapters have advisory boards in place to watch out for the women, they have leadership training and risk management education. If the women choose to ignore these teachings and go the other way, they will not be a successful chapter -- or a chapter at all. Group mentality (in any peer group) has a strange effect on people, and it takes someone with a very strong will and maturity to put her foot down and do the right thing.
I'm going to read the book eventually. I highly doubt that this book will be the end of the Greek System.
