When I was at the University of Illinois a LONG time ago, I took a Humanities class and the professor had us read excerpts from a book on sororities. I never saw the actual book, because the prof just provided us with photocopies of the pages he wanted us to read. Does this sound familiar to anyone, because I would love to re-read it now:

If I recall correctly, it was written by a woman, and it was VERY critical, almost a satire, of sorority women. The pages often had text boxes off to the side with various lists or other "information." One that I remember vividly was a list of things a sorority girl would NOT put letters on. It included jeans, shoes (which is funny because now so many girls wear those letter flip flops), etc. Then there was another list of things a girl would put letters on and it was endless. It also had lists of activities that are acceptable and unacceptable. One that I remember was that all sorority girls should bake cookies to bring over to fraternity houses in order to get invited to parties.

This was back in 1987-1988, but if it rings a bell with anyone, I would love to know, and I think it would be perfect for someone trying to gather items written with a bias.
