I don't know were to start but I will begin by saying that I am a member of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority Inc. and I loved the book, so did all of my line sisters. I read the book while I was in the process of becoming a member along with the rest of my LS and it was great (for lack of a better word)
I do understand that the book was not written like a thesis to a committee, but that is really one of the resons I liked it, because I read it in a day. but it was telling what it was like for five girls to bond and I think that it showed what the ideal bonding experience should be. (but that's my opinion)
As far as secrets, how can you say that something you never read tells all these things. I read it and I don't feel that is let out anything pertinent at al (but like I said, that's just me).
I will make it a priority to let every girl that comes in under me read this book, and I think that you should at least know the title and read the book before you bash it
Now, I will say that I recently read a pamphlet (I can't remeber the exact name) but it was something like "Why Christians shouldn't join Fraternities and Sororities?"
Now this book, (sorry, I borrowed it and am no longer in contact with that person to get the exact info) had some true secrets....it actually had our pledge (well a variation) in it, and described everyone's intake ceremony. I can't tell you how angry I was when I red this. And most importantly I was angry, becasue as a Christian I feel that it misinterpreted and twisted the meaning of our orgs. until they appeared to be Satanic Cults.
