people will get away with all kinds of things,some stations and shows just draw a more stern stance than others. alot of times chapters will get off free for doing stuff, and sometimes everyone will think they got off, but instead they are just keeping a suspension or some kind of action quiet.
if Tekes are on tv and acting respectable, there probably isn't gonna be any issues. problem is alot of people will go for the TV coverage, and be very stupid to get it.
as one Teke once told me 2 weeks after a campuswide organized protest of his chapter "No PR is bad PR." problem is every chapter in the state caught hell for what one chapter did thinking it was funny. try being a new member and your parents ask you why you joined a racist fraternity. it's not a fun position to be in.
from what i've seen, MTV doesn't care about the positive things, just drama and what people expect to see...
i mean hell when the chapter (i forget which) got the ok from it's board for the old school thing, MTV wanted the house to be lookin trashed, and you get 5 guys that miss college, put em in a fraternity house and say do whatever you want for a week, most people have a pretty good idea on what their gonna do.
personally, i've very anti MTV, the reality shows are just picking people who have issues with each other, then making tapes of them fighting and complaining. then there's their war coverage... MTV VH1 and them shouldn't be doing war coverage, it had to have been one of the most biased war program i've ever seen... they take the facts, then see how they can get the most reaction from them. same thing they will do with TKE if we give them any ammo.
