No, I'm not being sarcastic.

If you pat yourself on the back for something good that an individual (who happens to be a member of a fraternity) did, then you have to take the blame for the stupid things another individual in a fraternity does. I'm not willing to do that.

I believe what the others are saying is yes, my Brother did the right and only thing he could do which was try to save a persons life.

However, as we have seen all too many times, a Greek is ID'ed as a Greek only when the situation is bad (ie, just how many times does a situation or person in a dorm get ID'ed)

Here, the Brother's Greek background was not brought up in a positve way.
And being a local paper, they should know or at least know to ask.

And yes, we do all take a hit when some thing happens to a GLO, our own or another; be it on our campus or another. Be as an active or Alum.
A local murder case comes to mind real fast.
As do a few hazing cases, one involving a death.
Or "The SAE Riot" which occured on the front lawn of a SAE house which was attacked by two other houses.
