In a recent Post column, “The secret life of the American college bro,” the author presented a rather stereotypical view of fraternity brothers, and as a brother myself I found the article to be rather offensive and small-minded. The article painted all fraternity members as rude, aggressive, abrasive and consumed with the sole objective of being as drunk and rowdy as possible. As an objective newspaper, I feel it is only right to present both sides of the story, and there were several things your author failed to include. I am a fraternity brother with a high GPA who regularly contributes to the campus and community service, and I’m not the only one: Greek members represent the largest collective community service network in America, contributing more than 10 million hours of service a year. A recent study from the University of Missouri found that Greek members across the country are more involved on their campus and rate their overall college experience higher; that same study found that Greek members contribute more to their community and alma mater than their peers as well.

I’d like to address a column written a few days ago by Ryan McAndrews titled “Secret life of the American college bro.” It might be shocking to McAndrews that I, as a woman in a sorority, have the mental capacity to write a letter to the editor or read a newspaper, but I feel strongly compelled to speak out.
Racism continues to play a negative role in our society.
This week we tasted a beer that is supposed to taste like a wine. Or it is a wine that is supposed to take like a beer. We’re really not sure. The brewery, Dogfish Head, claims that it’s the perfect meshing of the beer and wine worlds. We wish we agreed. The Dogfish Head Noble Rot, made with grape must in addition to normal beer ingredients, is nonetheless an interesting beer, even if it fails to impress. Dogfish Head is the maker of some of the greatest beers out there, including the 120 Minute IPA, the Midas Touch and The Black & Blue. Some of their beers are too alcoholic to buy in the state of Ohio; some are made from recipes that date back to ancient Mesopotamia. They’re a brewery that pushes the limits and isn’t afraid to try new (or old) things. Unfortunately, we wished they hadn’t tried this.

As journalists, our profession requires us to be unbiased and impartial. Sometimes we have to stifle our personal opinions in the interest of the public and our own integrity. Luckily, for those who cannot restrain their creative, opinionated and sometimes controversial voices, there is something called the opinion section. In The Post, we publish columns, cartoons, editorials and letters on our opinion page, like many newspapers across the country.
