I think it's a good idea. But I get the impression I'm seeing this differently then everyone else.
Currently, the only information that non-greeks can get on greek life are statistics, what is released by nationals/locals and panhel, and image destroying newspaper articles. I think it would be nice to have a resource where non greeks can find out about how amazing it is to share the bond of being greek. It may be a start in the right direction of having non greeks realize that there is more to being greek than partying. In addition, most non greeks don't seek out those personal stories unless they are looking to pledge somewhere. This book of sorority girls' experiences would open up a source for young girls, mothers, and anyone else to get a different perspective (and the one we all like a lot better) about what being greek is like.
If navane does make a profit (and I do agree that dividing among the different charities is the best idea), she can do what she wants with it, it's her idea and her hard work. That's why if you don't like what she's doing, then you don't contribute stories or buy the book. That's every consumers choice.
I would also like to mention that a lot of this decided on the trustworthiness of navane. I don't mean to insult you at all, Kelly, but I don't know you at all. If you wanted girls to submit stories, I would recommend using another means than to solicit stories over an interent forum, and I do understand you are only looking for advice right now, but in the future...
You should let the girls know more about you and let them know your intentions for how you will put the book together and what will happen with profits. That will increase your credibility and put a lot of people at ease.
Other than that I agree with justamom... what do
you want to do?
