Finally someone who said something SENSIBLE.

She is promoting the stereotypes with an expose that you all are compaining about and yet YOU ARE GOING TO GIVE HER MONEY BY BUYING HER BOOK?????? All you are doing is giving credence to the book.

As I mentioned in another thread I got the book from the Library and am reading it now... appearantly she followed 4 different girls, and they ARE supposedly NPC sororities... there is this prologue that was in the beginning about how she tried to get permission from all 26 groups but couldn't (I'm soo suprised) so she went underground. I really think the whole thing is a bunch of hyperbolie (did I spell that right?) BULLIhisht. Some of the things she describes I can see where some of the truth is buried in there but she has extended it to be more dramatic I guess like I guess she ran into a lady with an eating disorder (could happen) but then she goes into how it wasn't just "myth" about toilets being clogged and descintagrated because of vomit and stomach acid.. (HIGHLY DOUBTFUL) if anyone else has read (or is going to read) please tell me what you think !

I am so tempted to check it out from the library just to read the BS.

I thought it was good. *shrugs*

Clarified: Interesting. It's always interesting to see an "outsiders" take on Greek life. Accurate or no, it makes for good discussion.
