I understand how people who don't know him could get the wrong impression by that article, but I just wish people would remember to take everything in the media with a grain of salt. Greeks especially should know how the media is!

I agree, you do have to take everything with a grain of salt. I never saw that article and I don't even know what it said, but when I went to a Mets-Braves game in New York last summer it was amazing how much hostility there was against John Rocker. He threw a ball to someone in the stands, and they hurled it back at him! I don't agree with everything the guy says, in fact I think he is one of the many people that needs to learn when it's appropriate to keep his mouth shut, but to say he's a racist may be a bit extreme. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he live with Andruw Jones (or maybe it was another African American) at one time?
I'd never heard of Tri Kappa before, but I just have to say I'd hate to wear those letters... Imagine what people would assume!
