"But let’s get a little perspective here: according to the authors[...] '133 fraternity and sorority chapters at 55 U.S. colleges were shut down, suspended, or otherwise punished {...].' That seems like a lot, but according to the North American Interfraternity Conference, there were approximately 5,500 fraternity chapters across the US and Canada in 2011. So [...] those 133 chapters account for fewer than 3% of Greek organizations. None of us who are Greek for the right reasons – the sisterhood, the values, or the philanthropy – have any use for the people who partake in the acts that are described in this timeline. Good riddance to all of them, because that 3% isn’t our majority. They are the minority who get in the way of those here for the right reasons."

To take that perspective even further, in many of the cases where chapters were disciplined, a minority of the chapter membership caused the problems or were guilty of a transgression.
