He posted it here because it's something of interest to the greek community. It might have been better placed in the Risk Management forum, but I suppose this works, too.

It's not really RM, though, since it was a personal activity, not a chapter activity. Maybe N&P, but I really think it belongs right here.

I agree with her.

So what are we missing then? And why are the other D9 members not making an issue of it. It's not like this was private information.

I can't speak for all but to me it's like he was making fun of Iota. I really, really don't think he would have posted this here in the Greek Life section if it had been an Omega man. But then again, that's my issue not anyone else's.
As for your question about "other D9 members not making an issue of it" -- No, we don't all think alike.

It must have taken one hell of a giant rabbit to make that big of a leap.

I either didn't see or don't recall seeing any other part to the post other than the links. But if there wasn't any other information given, how is that making fun of Iota?
And I wouldn't be surprised that most of us wouldn't be as quick to post bad news about our own GLO, even though it is a news story. But I don't think you can shoot the messenger for bringing it here. Nor do I see a reason why it shouldn't be in Greek Life. You could argue that it also belonged in the Iota forum or another D9 forum, but it's perfectly appropriate here.

We've already had a member torn apart by GC. No one said 'omg Sigma Kappa is the worst ever!', they were comments on the individual member. Same goes here.
How many people do you think are thinking, 'OMG Iota sucks so hard now look who they picked up and what happened?'
No one who has read this thread and posted in it is mocking Iota.

This is the Greek Life forum. You can post whatever Greek related shit you want and you don't have to preface it.

It's a public story that could have been read and posted by anyone.

Agreed. The only thing people have been questioning are his grades and how he was president.

No. We don't and that's a good thing. 
I don't have a problem with Wolfman posting where he did and what he posted. I know AKA has been a victim of not so flattering news being posted in places other than AKA Ave (here on GC). There was no question at the time why it wasn't posted in the "appropriate" forum, which from this thread, would have been AKA (I guess). If it's news (good or bad), it's news. He chose to post where he did and I am okay with it.
