While I agree w/ the general concensus, I feel a different bias. His wife is a Delta yet the DST section was the shortest. Also DST is the largest of the nine yet the list of famous members was the shortest (what?
). I also saw a general bias against sororities because the frats' list of famous members was padded w/ athletes.
Oh well. As mentioned, the author gets an "E" for effort.

I second you. I believe the book is good but even better for someone who is not a member. I think I made the mistake of reading it from the point of view of a NPHC member. I paid the $30+ expecting WAY more than I got. To be honest with you, it was kind of boring. I also think he was BIAS (did I spelled that right?) You are right; he made his personal opinions about certain orgs. shine more than others. I did not like how he phrased some of the points regarding the foundation of DST and how some of the founders were AKAs. ALthough the above is a fact, I first I kind of took it as damn, why is he "dissing" the AKAs?
Ok, enough
PLEASE DO NO TREPLY TO MY POST WITH NEGATIVITY- I could be wrong but this is the way I felt when I read the book (1 year ago)
ALso, he had MANY facts WRONG and people listed as member of orgs. were don't belong
Burnigsand, hope I answered you ques.
The book is a good reference guide. Although I have all the above mentioned problems with it, I have to give him props because he took the energy to put it together.
