I haven't read the book, but I agree with this point. Just from reading GC I'm amazed by how much emphasis sororities put on dating and relationships -- from the candle passes to date parties and formals. I know there is also an emphasis on scholarship and philanthropy, but more often than not that's not what I hear about -- I hear about women who are upset that they don't have a date for this or that, or that their date is being an ass, or that they want a candle pass of their own -- and frankly I do think it's a problem.
