I'm about 100 pages into the book. A huge question I have - How does she have so many exact quotes from these girls if she was just trying to blend in like a friend? A tape recorder, maybe, but she's got actual quotes from when someone (Amy and Spencer?) were hooking up IN SPENCER'S BEDROOM. How on earth would she have direct quotes from that?

Also, I notice that she takes a lot of things that are true about sororities, but sort of uses them out of context. One thing that stuck out was when she was talking about live-in requirements, and she says "In order to maintain the house, the sorority needs a certain quota of girls who will pay extra for the room and board. If chapters don't fill quota, Nationals have been known to shut them down." (107-108) I have never heard of an EO shutting a chapter down because they couldn't fill the house. Wouldn't they just have to give up their house? I've heard of charters getting revoked for low numbers, but not for not being able to fill the house. I just feel like she took the "not making quota" thing out of context.

Anyway I'm excited to read more on my lunch break...
