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.

Good Afternoon,

I am writing to you today in regards to the recent comic that was posted titled “Note to Self.”

I am very disappointed in the Post for allowing a comic to be published that depicts a fraternal organization on Oakland’s Campus. I personally feel offended, being part of a greek organization, that a Post member would even consider making an article that bashes greek life.

Our organizations work hard throughout the year both philanthropically and academically to help build ourselves into better men and women. I would really appreciate if the Post does a feature on the benefits to being Greek since it seems that your writers tend to believe that we are common stereotype.  I am sure if your organization would meet and get to know members of the Greek community they will find out we are more then the letter shirts we wear. 

I am sure you will be receiving multiple emails in regards to this comic since when, one organization gets addressed, we all stand up for one another.  Unfortunately, the next time I am offered a Post issue from one of your members, I will be respectfully declining. All I ask is this comic be addressed to the appropriate person and both fraternal organization that was mentioned and Greek life as a whole receive an apology.

Thank You,

Chelsey
