Lol it’s funny. Lighten up peoples.

Being a Ferris stu­dent, I find that most Frat guys are douchebags, and also quite a few of them are rapists. I also find a pretty hefty aver­age of soror­ity girls to be a bit loose and or bitchy. And both groups drink FAR TOO MUCH. Every night you can find par­ties at some Greek House. So stop say­ing you aren’t, when you totally are. I’ve seen tons of soror­ity girls do the drunken slut walk at Cranker’s at 2am. 

I can­not believe that this was allowed to be printed. Clearly this per­osn has no idea about Greek life. The per­son who did this as well as those who allowed it to be printed should be ashamed of them­selfs, but then again the Torch has and always will be garbage.

If any other Registered Student Organization did some­thing this dis­re­spect­ful towards another orga­ni­za­tion they would be put on sus­pen­sion or kicked off cam­pus. The same should be done for this bogus newspaper. 

The best way for Greeks to defend them­selves is to fol­low what the shirt says… Act classy. Trying to scold some­body online isn’t going to change any­thing. Instead, do some­thing about it in a classy way. Change the views of oth­ers about Greek Life, encour­age your sisters/brothers to behave in a way you want your orga­ni­za­tion to be seen, and start get­ting more strict on the drink­ing habits among the orga­ni­za­tion. Your actions will speak louder than words, and will bring a great amount of respect to you all both now and in the future.

I’m not a part of Greek Life, but I know a ton of peo­ple who are and who really do par­tic­i­pate in bet­ter­ing the cam­pus, com­mu­nity, and oth­ers’ lives. 

I think the fun­ni­est part is the yoga pants. Nailed it, Johnny!

Now that I have cooled down about this car­toon, I would like to apol­o­gize for say­ing any­thing that could have offended any­one. I would like to iden­tify a t trend I am notic­ing. This is no longer a car­toon about stereo­typ­ing, peo­ple really hate the Greek System and are now just try­ing to be mali­cious. I have read com­ments of peo­ple say­ing that peo­ple in the Greek sys­tem are sluts and rapists, that is down­right slan­der­ous and these claims have absolutely no basis to go off of. I am not say­ing that every­one should like each other and the world is rain­bows and sun­shine, but this is get­ting down­right nasty. Was I Greek as a col­lege stu­dent, yes. Did I also go to nurs­ing school and get good grades with­out the help of older soror­ity sis­ters, yes. Did I have a numer­ous amount of friends that were not Greek, absolutely. I under­stand peo­ple have had bad expe­ri­ences with the Greek sys­tem, I have had bad expe­ri­ence with peo­ple who were non-greek, and greek. I feel that every­one is pass­ing judge­ment on things that they are unaware of, yes maybe some peo­ple who are Greek drink to much, but as a for­mer stu­dent I know the same is true of stu­dents who are in the Honor’s pro­gram or Ferris State ath­letes. As an alumni who has been off cam­pus for a few years, I ask that every­one step back and maybe try to get to know one another as INDIVIDUALS instead of stereo­type every­one as whole. I under­stand the Greek sys­tem isn’t for every­one, but I hope every­one can work together to make Ferris a bet­ter place. Since there is such a debate over this car­toon, I chal­lenge all of you Greek and Non-Greek to com­ment here or make your sta­tus on face­book, “I am proud to be.… “. Example: I am proud to be a GDI, I am proud to be a pre-med stu­dent, I am proud to be a Ferris State Bulldog, I am proud to be an Alpha Xi. Instead of all the neg­a­tiv­ity let’s try to have some­thing pos­i­tive come out of this situation.

Very well drawn and quite effec­tive given the response! 
Keep up the good work!

The peo­ple com­plain­ing about this comic are an embar­rass­ment. Keep up the good work John!

As an active mem­ber of a Fraternity, this car­toon is sadly very accu­rate.  What peo­ple aren’t real­iz­ing is that this pic­ture doesn’t nec­es­sar­ily illus­trate that all Greek mem­bers are drinkers and irre­spon­si­ble.  The greater mes­sage is that Greek life has always done a really great job of mis­rep­re­sent­ing itself and, quite hon­estly, shoot­ing itself in its own foot.

As a mem­ber of a Greek orga­ni­za­tion, you are hold­ing your­self to an higher stan­dard in the pub­lic sphere.  Everything you do is a rep­re­sen­ta­tion of your orga­ni­za­tion as a whole.  So for every com­mu­nity ser­vice event that do that improves the image of your chap­ter, the exact oppo­site could be said of some­one wear­ing your let­ters get­ting “blitzed” at a party.  No mat­ter how much time you ded­i­cate to worldly causes, the stereo­type of the drunk, belligerent, rude, obnoxious, slutty, fratty and what have you, will always exist while you give it fuel to burn.

The peo­ple flip­ping out about this com­ment would like you to believe that the Greek sys­tem makes excel­lent cit­i­zenry, that are able to fully par­tic­i­pate in our demo­c­ra­tic repub­lic, and may even be supe­rior cit­i­zens to us non-Greeks.  Yet  many of the Greek pro­po­nents clearly have a prob­lem with the free exer­cise of speech. Needless to say, you can’t have a free soci­ety with­out free speech. Their strong neg­a­tive reac­tion, in par­tic­u­lar the ridicu­lous asser­tion that this is not pro­tected speech  which obvi­ously stands in con­tradis­tinc­tion to the facts (unless you cite prece­dent, there is no com­pelling rea­son to think else-wise), clearly indi­cates that these young adults are utterly inca­pable of being respon­si­ble actors in a free soci­ety.  By react­ing in such a child­ish way, the pro­po­nents of the Greek sys­tem have embod­ied an even more sting­ing crit­i­cism of the Greek sys­tem than the car­toon­ist ever intended.  It’d be deli­ciously humor­ous if it didn’t have such pro­found con­se­quences for the con­tin­ued exis­tence of free soci­ety.  Frankly, I’m legit­i­mately wor­ried that some of our most active cit­i­zens (tak­ing the Greek pro­nounce­ments con­cern­ing their civic duty in all good faith) are so woe­fully igno­rant about the very phi­los­o­phy and law under­ly­ing our republic.

Have the Greek stu­dents not learned even a mod­icum of US 20^th cen­tury his­tory?  They should be well aware of the fact that spout­ing nazi garbage is, exclud­ing the well known excep­tions, pro­tected speech.  Obviously this is not as hate­ful as nazi crap, so why wouldn’t it be pro­tected speech?  Alas, I fear my well thought out argu­ments are lost upon those who need to hear them the most.

Wow, the “Greeks” here are pretty touchy. Let us not play games. Everyone knows you sluts joined the Sorority to get drunk and be elit­ist. Overreacting is a sign of guilt. This is free speech.. Y so Serious?

YO BRO YOU MAD?

FREEDOM OF GOD DAMNED SPEECH YOU FUCK TARDS.

Sorry, idiots piss me off.
