I've read that book and it was like reading a fantasy novel...it certainly didn't pertain to my sorority life, even in the 1980's.
Not to mention the Ibid after Ibid from our good friends Melody Twilley and another person whose name I can't mention who has little to no credibility.
Oh, and ISUKappa, don't worry about the ritual stuff. She got mine completely wrong, I'm sure she missed the mark with the rest as well. Sorry no cookie!

You were able to read all the endnotes over lunch--did you take a two-hour one?
I looked through them last night, too. Gah. At least she's attributing. She is the Queen of Taken Out Of Context.
And I'm sure that most, if not all, of her ritual info is wrong, especially considering one of her resources was that website. But just the fact that she put in the info (correct or not) shows her complete lack of respect and journalistic integrity.
