I read the book "pledged" when I did a research paper on sororities. I went to junior college, but have known I wanted to rush since I was 16. I am a legacy to Alpha Xi Delta and Delta Zeta and am rushing this fall at the University of Central Florida. While I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book, I do believe that a lot of facts in the book is wrong. As a potential new member I do not know all the facts of sorority life, I still believe there are many joys to be had by joining a sorority. I recently went to an Alumni Panhellenic meeting and was so excited to see the older women say that they "were XYZ sorority" and not "they used to be in XYZ". It made me realize how much more sororities were than just the college years. Even though this book was good, it did not deter me from wanting to go through recruitment this fall!
