People are always going to have problems with Greeks and try to stir up trouble. I am going to order this book out of my own curiosity. I think that many people are going to Rush regardless of what rumors they hear about any organization, not only D*Phi*E. I think that once new members get to know that the women do not live up to what some random person wrote in a book, they will want to join the organization. I read several reviews of the book on amazon.com and one person wrote something which struck me greatly--that these are the "views" of someone in their late 20's going in and writing about basically what goes on on college campuses everyday with that age group (18-21). I am 28 and I look at this age group more critically at times, forgetting that not so very long ago I was doing the same things, and it had nothing to do with the fact that I was in a sorority. It comes down to the fact that we always have a choice in life to behave how we do. D*Phi*E has nothing to do with our decisions, if anything, being a member should make us more concious of how we act. I think that many things this woman wrote about affect all women regardless of if they are in a sorority are not. I know when I was in undergrad we knew that people would associate us with our letters so we did all we could to promote a positive image of the organization. I'd have to say that many women I observed who were behaving negatively in whatever way were NOT in a Greek-letter organization. It's like anything else in life, people who are not part of a particular organization whatever it is, will always be critical of it. Take the military for example~~~Allison
