Readers Respond to "Join a Frat" Article

Dear Editor, I am greek, everything he said was true, but only for a few particular people who make greek life look bad. There are parties, there are drunk idiots, and there are sluts. However, there are also members of SGA, SAC, honors societies, Medical clubs, service fraternities, and such. the article was a little too assumptuous for my tastes but everyone has the right to their own opinions.
