Despite the fact that Columbia's Greek organizations are, tangibly speaking, some of the highest performing campus organizations in terms of the amount of money they raise for philanthropy, hours they dedicate to community service, employment help they offer members, and support they provide to fellow campus organizations, campus news sources rarely, if ever, publish articles detailing the positive ways in which Greeks contributes to society.
Campus news sources are eager to release stories that make members of Columbia fraternities and sororities look bad since this is a proven way for both publications and individual journalists to get an increased amount of media attention. Those less content with their physical appearances and life situations are highly attracted to stories such as these (i.e. reading about the life problems of supposedly 'fun' and 'attractive' Greek people), so the news coverage is an incredible opportunity for both Columbia Spectator and Bwog.
Bwog is sent weekly newsletters detailing the upcoming philanthropy and service events that will be held by Greek organizations, and they do not publicize any of these upcoming events on their site.
Instead, they, along with the Columbia Spectator, utilize (typically false and always unverified) rumors and Facebook stalking to create Greek "scandals" that they can write about. Some of the "scandals" are detailed below.
