More recently, they did a story about the Thon event at Penn State and there were only 6 or so comments.

Some people just see what they want to see and hate can be so much fun.
I feel so sorry about the similar issue with a chapter at cornell last year and their recruitment dress code. Every single blog said it was the sorority's "dress code" and compared them to mean girls, with 100's of commenters about how all greek life is is superficial girls that would make up rules like that. That poor chapter, an internal document leaked and taken completely out of context by people who don't care to understand.
