I would agree.

Why does it end with that Jenna weirdness, for example?

I agree that this article shouldnt have listed the supposed stereotypes of some of the chapters...and im sure it focused on DG primarily because that is probably who the reporter "shadowed" and interviewed.

As for the "Row Chi" thing..there should have been a comma in between Row and Chi:

"On the other side of Sorority Row, Chi Omega sisters line their front walk."

I'm sure the Phi Mu's didn't appreciate their use in the story!

I hope that the paper publishes an apology. They could have just as easily not used that line about Phi Mu, it contributed nothing to the article.

No offense to DG, but seriously there are 15 other chapters on the UF campus and the article primarily focused on them. Heck, most of the pics were DG as well.

I don't know I guess for me, if a newspaper is going to focus on recruitment, don't focus on one house then naming "stereotypes" of like 4 others.

IMPO while the article was "well meaning" it was in bad taste.

the absence of more chapters being represented in the article could be because many of the national offices do not want their members "winging" an interview and possibly misrepresenting the sorority. i know zeta feels that way-i was surprised to see a zeta quoted. i would be surprised if her comments were authorized, or if she even knew to get permission before she spoke.
