Well Scencewoman I never gave much thought at all about my posting style or record. If I do see something positive, I would give some thought to posting here. And yes, some of what I post is of a negative report. And not due to me being "anti-Greek". As people who know me in the real world would tell you I am rather "pro-Greek". And negative actions within or by Greeks hurts us all. And in this case, it may be more of the actions of the school than of the GLO's. Time will tell us all which it is.

I guess I missed the other thread when I did a search to see if this had been posted already.

As for source matterial, once it was brought up as a concern, I did a rather fast search of the internet and found more, much more on this story.

If you really are pro Greek, you should be aware that the news media often does a REALLY REALLY REALLY BAD job with Greek terms and to reproduce their headlines whole is foolhardy.

This is quite a Zippy thread.

I know and understand that all too well 33girl. And that observation goes to just about every report on every type of event by any type of media. Part of the reason I read a great deal from many sources.

In this case, usage of terms is a bit problematic. As are the facts of the matter.
