Yes, each greek organization gets excited about Thon and plasters their letters on T-shirts and hoodies, but it's a matter of pride. Many independent organizations and campus schools do the same thing (ATLAS, Penn State Behrend), but it's more fun and easier to criticize greeks. There are two kinds of opinions -- personal and informed.

Personal opinions involve someone criticizing something from afar, based on personal biases. One example is a "journalist" who expresses discontent with something without researching it. An informed opinion might have involved actually asking members of greek organizations about their apparel and then determining whether it was a good or bad thing. For example, one might have discovered that my organization's newest family was ecstatic with the shirts we gave them (organization letters and all), and the father said he couldn't wait to put our letters on the side of his Freightliner. I can understand why Chris Mueller didn't ask though -- it was easier just to express his misinformed opinion rather than do real research. Columnists shouldn't be lazy - they should be responsible for the work they print and should care enough about it to actually ask someone (at least if they want their opinions to count).
