With the onset of MTV's "Sorority Life," many people, such as the columnist Joseph Rauch, were sucked into following Sigma Alpha Epsilon Pi at University of California-Davis.
The drama surrounding the sorority easily lured in viewers who had nothing better to do than say, "I told you so."
This sorority isn't nationally chartered, and if it had been, they would have lost their charter for their conduct on television, which is far from being a realistic representation.
The sororities at UNC are the equivalent of hundreds of other organizations that aim to make a contribution.
If Rauch had done a little research before issuing an attack, he would've discovered that the average GPA of sorority women is higher than those women who aren't Greek affiliated.
Out of 32 Greek groups, 30,374 hours of community service were recorded for the spring 2002 semester.
Rauch states that sororities perform community service "because it was the 'in' thing to do." Since when was charity work ever "out"?
As for the "walk of shame" attack, distinguishing a sorority girl from an average college student after a night of partying is virtually impossible. Who made him the Greek police?
Rauch also debunks the Bid Day tradition.
