Today's Jumpstart comic perpetuates Greek Stereotypes

http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/jumpstart/

(4/16 comic)

For those of you that don't get Jumpstart as a daily comic, the running gag is that the main character's mother is a maniac driver.

You can write to the artist and complain. I know I'm going to do so. His contact information is on the site.

As long as it's not about MY fraternity I can have a sense of humor about it. The stereotypes are out there and no matter how much we complain about it the people that reinforce those stereotypes will never be in short supply. We'll just continue to recruit the gentlemen that want to join a fraternity for the right reasons.

James,

It is amusing...it also helps further the thought that all we do is haze. To me, anything I can do to educate the public on what really goes on in GLO, is worth the effort.
