Letter: ?The DTH’s coverage of Greek life is lacking

TO THE EDITOR:

When I scrolled down my Twitter feed and saw The Daily Tar Heel tweet “Today was Bid Day for UNC sororities,” complete with link to the photo gallery, my first thought was, “This is news?”

Then, I was frustrated and disappointed. When has The Daily Tar Heel ever covered or acknowledged a new member presentation for a National Pan-Hellenic Council or Greek Alliance Council organization?

If NPHC orgs are ever in the DTH, it’s for Pit performances or the annual step show. It’s also frustrating to me how the DTH and others in the UNC community say “UNC sororities” — as if it’s all inclusive. As if Panhellenic comprises all sororities on this campus. 

There is more to Greek life at UNC than the Interfraternity Council and Panhellenic Council. I would encourage everyone to enlighten themselves and broaden their understanding of Greek culture.
