The thread was later closed.
Also, alot of greek women have given me a hard time on this message board because I chose a name that allows a man to identify me. Why is my name such a big deal? Why cant I have a boy define me? HALF OF THE PEOPLE ON HERE LET THEIR SORORTIES DEFINE THEM? I chose not to be repersented in such a mannor.
Sisters are supposed to stick together but the truth of the matter is that they dont, believe me I found this out the hard way. Im not dissing the greek community but why is it that almost every thread about the "truths reguarding sororitys" later become closed?
Seems to me half of you individuals are trying hard to ingore what really happens.
AND yes the truth can hurt but why turn away from it like much of you have done. Read the book before you start dishing out and dont concern yourself with my name on these boards if you have chose to let your letters define you!

First, my sorority doesn't define me, but it is a part of me. I don't think you're boyfriend should define you, but I do think he is a part of you.
Secondly, no one is denying bad things do not happen, but to make such a blanket statement that Ms. Robbins' book is truthful, is wrong and what angers some. Yes some women have had terrible experiences with greek life. There are several women who have dissafiliated from their organizations on GC because of hazing. etc. Some of them have gone on to initiate into different orgs, other have chosesn to remain unaffiliated.
Third, many people have read this book.
