Chronicle coverage of Greek event unfair

The Panhellenic Executive Board would like to express its dissatisfaction with the article “Greek community unites for convocation,” which we feel inappropriately represented the greek community as a whole. An event that was meant to be a unifying and positive step forward for inter-council relations was cast in a negative light, emphasizing parties and Tailgate as opposed to the academic and philanthropic achievements of all four councils. Furthermore, we were disheartened by the fact that National Pan-Hellenic Council and Inter-Greek Council were all but forgotten, though the men and women of these organizations do so much for the Duke and Durham communities. Lastly, it seems that certain facts were taken out of context in order to portray the event in a flippant manner, as opposed to the meaningful occasion it was meant to be. We would hope that the next time The Chronicle covers a greek event it does so in a more impartial tone that does not belittle the achievements of the greek community.
