<portion snipped> Do you think there's any way that we can get this to be taken down?
Why? It's technically inaccurate in several places, but there is this pesky little Amendment, right at the top of the Bill of Rights, that protects speech.

It is posted on an informational site - so it should at the very least be accurate. I don't think anyone is demanding that legal action be taken -

Does anyone else think item 10 seems totally odd after she lists all these "negatives" about greek life?

Maybe i'm the only one, but although it wasn't all that accurate, I don't think it was all that bad.

There were things that could be done away with, but not everything listed was bad or negative.


FYI: The article wasn't written by Jessica Steinhoff, it was written by Mike Hardcastle.

Nope, you're not the only one. I think there is some useful information on the list, and going back to my comment earlier, those who are truly interested in Greek life will hopefully use the site as A resource rather than THE resource.

That pesky little Amendment simply means that the government can't ask her to take it down.
