And who do you think the "typical" HP reader is? I think you'd get similar posts from any news source. I read HP on a daily basis, but you have to take the posters with a grain of salt. If I spent my time worrying about what is posted on CNN, Fox, HP and every other outlet on the internet, I'd just go ahead and shoot myself. Their opinions about Greek life are meaningless. Interest in Greek Life has skyrocketed in the past couple years. Obviously we're doing something right. If we want to improve our image, then we won't do it by saying, "But everyone else is doing it." We have to be above reproach. If we aren't going to shoot for that, then we can just take our lumps and ignore them.

That's why I said that I wouldn't worry about it either. I do read Huff-Po but I can only bear to get on maybe once a week because of their layout... I wish they would clean it up somehow so it's not so busy. Huff-Po, IMO, is the opposite of far right "news" sites like the weekly standard and newsmax and will attract people on the far edges of the political spectrum.

And ditto @ the second bolded.

I see we are on the same page, then.
