ANYONE ELSE THINK THIS IS COMPLETELY DEGRADING?! That's from that MSNBC article! Stereotyping a little? I think so!

She most likely has a thing for raising her profile and making money. Writing about sororities serves this purpose, especially since the book resembles "reality TV" which generates lots of attention and revenue. Most of the sorority women she talked with were undergrads who weren't exactly media-savvy. It's easy to get naive or inexperienced people to embarrass themselves on the record - just ask Michael Moore. My honest opinion is that sororities are sitting ducks for this kind of thing, and AR saw the opportunity and took advantage. Whether this was right or wrong is open to debate.

Sorry, but from the link, I want to gag my dinner of fruit juice so I dont get fat and ugly!:rolleyes:

Her innuendos are not very hidden and she is pressing flesh to sell this booklet in hard back.

With Her looks, she should have been included in some Sorority, a, but as was stated, maybe she wasnt for some reason?

I wont spend a dime to get the book as do not want to give her any more money!

I am up to barrowing it from someone so I dont have to pay a royalty.

Requiring it as a read by an Acadamian, god, what have College Professors come to?:rolleyes:

Maybe she didn't want to join a sorority?

With Greek Life being not so big at Rowan, I'd be surprised if many people bothered to read this book with much more than a "this is pretty true", about their system. The Greek members may not say it, but the non-Greeks may. It's the culture of Northeast Greek life...either you are or you aren't, but if you are, you are always defending what you're about to non-Greeks, and if you're not Greek, you often times have some stereotype in mind. I've seen it at nearly every school I've visited in PA, NY and NJ.

Lordy. This kind of perspective injures sororities a lot more than some pseudojournalistic potboiler ever could.

The picture is from USM's Bid Day!!!

Not knowing Her School and what kind of Greek Organizations were there and Reputations, maybe she didnt.

So, what gives Her the right to tell the wold about Greek Life other than giving a little under cover working and snooping?

Cannot anyone write an expose' about Greeks and say things.?

Animal House is a prime example even though many of us can relate in some way. Doesnt mean it is right, but the percepcition is the same when seen and read by non Greeks!

Still would like to barrow that book!.;)

Tom, she went to Yale. Her first book was an "expose" of Skull & Bones. She went from that to college sororities.

There's a reason there's a disclaimer on this section of the site that says, "No more Pledged threads!"

What I wanted to say but couldn't find the words for.

Not only that, but notice how that's the only photo that's ever used ;) ? Good camera angles and heavy makeup can do wonders

At first I thought you meant here = GC, and then I realized that here = you guys' school. :)

She def blew things out of proportion and acted like the sorority was the cause of everything bad and if anything good happened to them because of the sorority it was just a fluke.
