In 1995, the Daily Illini published an editorial taht was very, very condescending towards Greeks. Greeks then canceled all their subscriptions (about 70% of total subscriptions). They also wrote letters to campus businesses asking them not to support the DI by purchasing advertising space. It worked, and the DI almost went out of business. The University had to step in with additional funding. An apology was printed, and a Greek section was added to the paper with a Greek editor and Greek writers.
The thing is, Greeks run my campus. How much influence do you guys have there? How is the paper funded? Are there any editors there who would be friendly to the Greek cause?
And a final word: DO NOT, under any circumstances, stoop to their level.
