Oh, is this one of those threads where you, the wise non-Greek, tell Greeks what we should or should not have done?

Nope. It's one where we're talking about a campus-wide conflict and the external appearance (ugliness, to my eyes) of an apparent Greek action. The chapters may well have been pursuing a wise course of action for their own best interests -- I didn't and wouldn't comment on that, because I can't know. But non-Greeks are in fact well qualified to describe what the action looks like from the outside.
Of course, you don't have to care about anyone else's perception, least of all mine. I'm just saying that the public is in a good position to call 'em like we see 'em when it comes to what GLOs do in public.
The Daily Illini wrote about the boycott recently, describing it as temporary, based on pulling ads rather than subscriptions, and saying that the Greek councils told the DI that the one obnoxious article wasn't the cause for the boycott. So it seems like different players in the story have different recollections of what happened. This DI version actually casts a more flattering light on the Greeks:
