And it irritates me that when she is interviewed (like on "The View" and "Access Hollywood" that she is praised for her work in "uncovering the truth".

Exactly!

I don't know how many times I have said this, but if this was a real reasearch book/paper she would be laughed at and it would never have been published. Everyone knows that on school and 2 chapters are not a sample size for reasearch.
While I'm not saying that bad things don't go on in some chapters, she can't say she's uncovered the truth about sororites and sorority life.
I read the book and all I can think is WTF??!! I can't relate to any of this because my experience was so completely different. I'm not saying by any means were we perfect, but drug rooms? God damn it, we didn't even have a house!!! Ranking of breast sizes...nope didn't happen!
Easting disorders, sure it happens. But out of a chapter of 20 80% of us having them. That's almost the whole chapter!!! Damn, I don't think so.
for those of us who had completely different experience from those "girls" in the book, it's hard for us to relate and take her seriously, and it sure as hell pisses us off when she makes it sounds like we're all like that.

I'm sorry, but she is sooo full of it! I don't know much about Skull & Bones, but I am pretty sure it's been around for more than a hundred years and they have kept their secrets out of the public, they sure as hell aren't gonna let Ms. Robbins in on them.

Also, if you read "Pledged" (insert sarcastic comment here) she mentions how she could pass for a 19 year old college student. Um, after seeing last nights interview- I really don't think she could have.

I have finished my rant.

yep i was lookin around yesterday and found her book about the skull and bones society. i had no idea she had done anything on them. so anyway i grabbed the book and started reading it last night. i read clear till 1:30 this morning and so far she really hasnt revealed any secrets. she tells a whole lot about yale and societies but the book is called "secrets of the tomb" or something and i havent read any secrets so far. she mentions the members taking a bride and groom of the society into a barn after the ceremony and performing their own ceremony. gee. thats satanic. *total sarcasm* and thats a big ole secret too aint it? NO ALEXANDRA ITS NOT. i would expect organizations to do their own thing for a bride and groom ESPECIALLY if they are as elite as the skull and bones society. when i finish the book i'll let yall know more.
