I don't remember exactly what other sorority ritual was described in the book, but I know if mine was in there (if it was or was not I will not say so) I would NEVER admit to it. She may/may not have gotten it right, but why would you want people to know? Your ritual should be special to you and admitting that it's out there is essentially saying "here is my ritual, just take it" even if they did or did not have the meaning behind the ritual. That's my main issue with the book. Sensationalism or not, what was honestly the point of the ritual divulging parts?

Because people want to know. People who aren't Greek are curious. And haven't you ever wonder what everyone else does?

And I don't feel bad about saying the ritual parts were accurate because she describes more than one. And it doesn't say on here what my sorority affiliation is, nor will it ever.

Yes I'm curious. But that doesn't mean I think it's right for anyone - especially someone who has such a twisted view of what sororities are about - to parade them for all to see to make a quick buck.

She wasn't including the ritual to explain anything - it was just for the sake of sensationalism. Had it been a scholarly comparison of why (example) KKG is bigger than TPA and she related that to their rituals, that might have been a little more palatable, but I still don't think the majority of Greeks would have been too keen on that either.

She probably wanted to join a sorority herself, and got rejected so because of that her whole thought process has totally been negative about sororities. So what did she do? She said "Hey, I hate sororities so much, I'll make a book out of it, and make money from the customers I hate so dearly."

You make a good point, but that could be also considered an assumption.
