Letter to the Editor: Greek depiction in The Oakland Post
Editor’s note: The Oakland Post regrets the decision to run the “Note to Self” comic featured on last week’s “Mouthing Off” satire page. During this semester, we have covered Greek life in stories chronicling sorority bid day, Oakland’s TKE fraternity’s positive response to a national scandal, the Greek council’s reaction to the Yik Yak app, and a “Photo of the Week” featuring a Zeta Sigma Chi fundraising event. The Post has and will continue to provide objective coverage of all campus organizations and to champion their contributions to the community.
Dear Oakland Post Editor,
I hope in the future you take a lesson from the movies. Never once have they depicted a real national fraternity or sorority in their movies or TV shows. I can only hope that in the future you choose to have the same respect for the organizations who work hard to gain your respect. Perhaps in future editions instead of bashing a community of leaders that make up memberships in many SAFAC organizations (including your own), you can choose to uncover the truths behind the benefits of Greek membership.
