I just started reading plegded, but I already know the details about the book because half my chapter has read the book. The book reads very much like a novel, however I don't find her writing that good. She jumps around from character to character, then she talks about sororities in general, which makes it hard to read. I do not appreciate that she glorifies ethnic based sororities. They are good and all, but she makes its seem like only they do philanthropy and NPC's don't. In the first chapter she mentions an AKA incident, but she doesn't mention it is NPHC. Also, the quotes at the begining of the chapters from "Rush: A Girls Guide to Sority Success, 1985" I heard that book was a joke written for Greeks. However, Ms. Robbins is quoting it as if it were real.
Whether her information is correct or incorrect, Ms. Robbins is doing her job. She could right an entire book on Sorority ritual and be totally incorrect, but you know it would sell. And that is her goal, to make money.
