I will say that my comments are not targeted at DZ. We as a group do enough to continue these stereotypes and bad comments. As much as we all proclaim our interest in networking, sisterhood/brotherhood, philanthropy and academics, we continually have very highly publicized incidents of hazing, underage alcohol abuse, and other bad behavior that continues to color the public's views of our organizations. A character on a show using an ugly nickname for a group that was made up by other Greeks, by the way, is the least of our problems. Focusing on improving our reputations by cutting out the bad behavior that legitimately gives us those reputations despite all the good work we do is more important. Insisting that they "respect us" will just result in a round of "elitist", "buying friends" etc comments.
