It's official: John Cook can do nothing right


Really? Sorority members are "peeved"? And about what, you might ask?  Apparently, this is in reaction to Cook's statement about wishing his daughter -- in the wake of her car accident -- was a sorority girl and not a Husker volleyball player. According to miffed sorority girl Allison Shirk:

"Sorority girls — and fraternity boys — don't get away with anything. We have to project a good image and we have the same consequences as everyone else."

What? How did this become about you?

"A lot of us were just a little disturbed."

Really? Honestly? You were disturbed.

Look, I know it's fun to be outraged at perceived slights, but this is not a chance for everyone to jump on the Victim Train. Next thing you know, the Genie Association of America is going to lodge a complaint. ("We don't approve of John Cook's use of a 'wish' with such nepotism.")

Do sorority girls honestly think that Cook was saying, "You know, if my kid was a sorority girl, she could have gotten away with this. Have you ever seen a sorority girl held accountable for anything? O, why didn't I make her pledge Delta Delta Delta when I had the chance! Stupid, stupid, stupid!"

So now, Cook, on top of everything else in this crummy, crappy week, has to go meet with representatives of the Panhellenic Association.

Hang tough, Cook. Surely next week will be better, right? But to be on the safe side, don't make any references to the following: sororities, sorority girls, the Greek system in general, the Greek letters alpha, beta, chi, upsilon, and pi. Zeta, eta, phi, mu, nu, sigma, epsilon, and omega. Greece, the movie "Grease,"
pledging, pledges, PBS pledge drives, and tote bags. Frats, fraternal orders, fraternization, and "brosephs."
