What makes the news? Scandal, titillation, gossip... What doesn't make the news? Philanthropy, community service, fellowship. I don't dispute that the "girls gone wild" stereotype has some basis in fact. But I think the attention given to that aspect is way out of proportion to its prevalence or relevance. It's possible to look for bad, and find it, in any organization. I don't have any prurient interests to satisfy, so I don't bother focusing on those aspects. To each his own.

There's considerable comedy potential here, though.
