I agree. The context is definitely not emphasized enough in this book. Especially college life in general.

Or some obvious things. Greeks drink more. Therefore the Greek system encourages drinking.

In reality college people (and people in general) drink socially, however, Greek Life will often offer more social occassions than your regular independant has.

Those of us who have read "In Search of Sisterhood" by Soror Paula Giddings know that it not only chronicles Delta Sigma Theta, but American history (which includes black American history...beyond slavery, of course). A book "devoted" to an NPC sorority should conceptualize sorority memberships within a women's movement and general history framework, as well.
