Fall under the jurisdiction of a social occupational eye soar impressing responsibility? Sounds like a head ache. What happened to that young man was tragic, however my observations indicate this kind of social activity is tradition for most Greek societies...if it isn't whim its brawn. Effective decision making is rendered when the convoluted influx of social delirium or constituency goes silent – or we can put a rush on things. Just another way to look at it. Philanthropy? The point of these social networks, presuming the members are committed to one another, is to increase the chances of success in a competitive environment. It’s self-fish to begin with. Philanthropic points of view come with age and guilt. Actually I wouldn’t know about that, I’m still young.

The lede is misleading and vague, and only upon further reading do we discover what the purpose of this article is. And I will not argue that the article does serve a purpose. However, articles should not demand this kind of follow-up. They should be concise in their clarity, intent, and general journalistic skills. The article in question, however, seemed to have a purpose -- but that purpose used an anecdote of this sorority happening to demonstrate the purpose. In turn, the article took on the appearance of a gossipy tabloid piece struggling as hard as it could to appear newsy. It was a perfectly relevant question, but the exploitation of the situation of the drunken girl became an anecdote that the question didn't really need. But since the author of this article decided to use the anecdote, it should have been placed under the editorial category. The way the author chose to frame this article made it troublesome to fit into the news category because it was simply so subjective that it made the article into an "out for blood" issue against the Greek system. I'm not affiliated with the Greek system. However, though I know that many Greeks participate in community service and philanthropy, I would encourage the Greeks to realize that what they see as negative stereotypes are actually, more or less, strikingly true. Though not a Greek, I've been to many a party as most of us have. Greeks thrive on the party life, and to deny this is just silly. Greeks are not the only partiers on campus. Being a Greek does not give one license to party hard and get drunk. Nongreeks do it as well and just as often. The ethics in question are, as posed by many of the Greeks, that what makes the front page is the debauchery of the Greeks and not the nongreeks when both groups do the same thing. I fully understand this and appreciate this, because it is true that Greeks aren't the only ones who party. However, I would discourage those who read the Greeks comments to fall for the idea that much of Greek life isn't about partying, because it is. Much of college life is as well, but for the sake of argument, Greeks need to stop bashing anyone who calls them on out this and instead focus on the real issue. When party goers say they are heading out to a party, they say they are going to "Delta Zeta" or "Simga Chi", etc. This is a foundation as to why Greeks are so pigeonholed as partiers, because so many parties are associated with a certain chapter of the Greek system. Not all Greeks party. Not all college students party. But a large portion of them do. Does this deserve the front page? Not at all. I think many of the problems in this article, again, stem from it's poorly-written nature. Any story that has an unclear purpose is bound to be interpreted as something that it didn't set out to be, as the Greeks saw it as an attack. They had the right to, but it didn't have to happen if this article was written better. And that goes for copy editors and editors as well. Where were you? This shouldn't have slipped by.

Had the same situation happened in the dorms or any of the residences populated by students surrounding the campus, the Collegian would never have reported on it. Why, therefore must the Collegian attempt to vilify the Greek societies on campus and persist to discriminate towards us based upon misconceived perceptions of our actions or social demeanors? I challenge you to try to take a higher ground and report on facts that are newsworthy and relevant to all students rather than try to do nothing more than spread discriminatory opinions.

The issue of crimes done near OUR campus should be exposed rather than exposing DZ as helpful women. I still don't understand why other groups or individuals are not questioned about proper reporting to the campus. If this women got "sick" at a house of an athletic player or a member of the band, it WOULD NOT be on the front page. I would also like to add that there are many Greeks that are involved in both band and athletics. I think that the collegian needs to focus on other important issues.

If you looked hard enough, you could find a Fresno State student passed out after drinking in a variety of places in and around campus.
