I KNOW IN BLACK SORORITIES THAT WOULDNT HAVE HAPPEND BECAUSE IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET THAT IS WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM NON GREEKS AND I FEEL YOUR RITUALS..SHOULD BE SACRED AND SECRET. AFTER ALL, WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO BE GREEK IF THEY KNOW INSIDE STUFF ONLY SORORS OR SISTERS SHOUD KNOW?

Hi RAVEGIRL, this is your Caps Lock button speaking...Caps Lock would like to go on vacation now, thanks.
I'd like to echo KR and say that the research Ms. Robbins did for her book has no solid foundation. No one but members of XYZ sorority will know for sure if the "info" divulged in the book are true or not. Will they come forth and admit the truth? No respectful sister would ever do such a thing.
It's not just the NPHC sororities that hold their rituals with high regard. NPC, Multi-cultural, local, professional sororities' members also do the same.
So no, I wasn't "pissed" when I read the book. Why? Because I know what MY collegiate sorority experience was like and I know that thousands of others experienced the same thing. It'd be nice to say that the book is BS, but some of the crap she writes about does happen, and it's the stupid people that ruin it for us all. I read the book strictly for entertainment purposes and I encourage others to do the same, not as the "be all, end all" of sorority life, but read it so that you can appreciate your sorority affiliation and your memories a little bit more.
Finally...I read on the
LJ SororityGirl Community that Paramount's thinking about turning the book into a motion picture. I sooooo can't wait.
