The Laf

Ms. Burey wonders "when else do we see these organizations leaping to action in Easton" but then immediately asks why Greek organizations seem to want praise for their contributions. Isn't it pretty obvious that Greeks want (need) this "praise" to counter the uninformed opinions of those who write articles in the school newspaper questioning the sincerity of the philanthropic activities the Greeks partake in?

If you are going to take the opportunity to write negative opinions of Greek organizations and if the news media is going to jump at the chance to exploit every negative aspect of Greek life then you should all be prepared for Greeks to defend themselves by advertising all of the positive things we do.

I think this is a good discussion regarding Greek life and the way Greeks are often viewed by others. It's something that is common on most campuses and there is definitely a strong judgment that people make on both sides.
