I have a question?
Can I access the Teen Vogue article through the internet or do I have to buy the article? Also does People keep an archive of their past articles on the net? I would really love to read the two articles |
so i was at a local bookstore yesterday and Pledged out on the shelves.....i flipped through it and although its purely fiction, the girl who wrote the book secretly pledged a sorority to go "undercover" after her younger sister started pledging a sorority and was hazed.
I go to a school where greek life is TINY......we're completely outnumbered by the rest of the campus and we often get a bad rap even though we are trying very hard to clean this up. we have very strict anti-hazing rules and they are implemented. i am really scared that this book is going to be a reason for girls NOT to go through recruitment.....they are going to think we're all like this. we went through this when Sorority Life came out a few years ago......I'm at a party with a potential new member and she started asking me if we did the same things those chapters did on the show. i don't know.....i'm still planning on reading the book when i get some cash to pick it up and i feel like ithe greek system is going to be fighting their way to get many potential new members to sign up for recruitment because of this book. |

I thought so too. But I can't honestly tear into it and criticize it w/o reading it. And there's very little chance that a local public library will get it around here. So I purchased it Online from Chapters (actually surprised they had it) and should get it this week sometime...

Go to Barnes & Noble and read the Teen Vogue article and the whole book. Hell, you can read War & Peace there and they won't care. I love Barnes & Noble. :D

What about Indigo (even though it's the same company)? |
they have it online - just not in store so that you could read w/o buying as suggested.
Some stores may have it in stock - but mine didn't |
I've checked the Chapters-Indigo website, and it's available at a few stores, including Chapters Bloor Street (the one next to the huge Nike store), Indigo at Yorkdale, The World's Biggest Bookstore, Chapters Festival Hall and Chapters Runnymede.

Oooh Runnymede Chapters is near my house and Bloor Chpaters is near work.
Maybe I'll read it on my lunch hour. I really don't want to buy it. |
?
quick question...was she actually hazed or did she experience hazing? (was she actually in a sorority before she wrote the book, i got the impression that she is an adult now?) i haven't read the book or the articles but i was just curious as to her basis for writing her book.
also, i think its a wonderful idea to get stories from people in the house, even if we can't publish it for real, we could always make a website. i know that my pledgship to agd was amazing and we (as pledges) were spoiled rotten by our moms and bigs. i've learned more about myself through the house than i ever could elsewhere, i love it :-) |
her website www.alexandrarobbins.com gives a very tiny biography of her - she is a grad from Harvard (i think that's what i read)
AS for telling our own stories, i know my Supreme Council would (and has) discouraged members from sharing any stories....I'm sure they wouldn't approve of a member writing anything using its name whether its good or bad...so one would have to use fake names which kind of distorts the whole thing.... |
None of the Chapters in BC had the book (I checked the other day). But many of the stores in the Toronto and Montreal area had it!
