I agree with you on that.

I'm still trying to figure out which is most accurate, "Pledged", "Peggy Sanday's Fraternity Gang Rape" or the graffiti in the Men's room near campus, and frankly I'm leaning toward the Graffiti.

OTOH, there are some books on the Subject that I think are definitely worth while. Start with Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities for the dry facts, Add Lawrence Ross's Divine Nine or Black Greek 101 for the NPHCs and some of the widely published specific history books like the one for Delta Sigma Theta.

Hank Nuwer's writings, such as Broken Pledges, however accurate they are should *not* be the first information that a prosective member gets.
