Ok, I just finished this book and have to say, I thought it was very interesting. Sadly, I do think that sorority life at a larger school is more like the author's depiction than many would like to admit. I am by no means saying ADPis or sororities in general are all like that but we have to realize that extremes are what sell books. If there were no exposing stories, no one would buy the book. I do know girls from my old chapter like some of those she described and I know girls who couldn't be farther from the stereotype. It goes both ways in any large group...

Overall, I really feel like it's a good read for any collegian or alum member. For alums, it's really informative for the image that future employers may have of you and for any who have daughters entering college. For collegiates, remember that any girl for the next few years that is interested in rushing will be reading this book and will probably have questions for you. They will want to know why ADPi does not fit into the mold and specifically why your chapter doesn't fit. It's always good to be prepared!

Ok, that was just my opinion. I work with an Alpha Chi Omega and we've had an ongoing discussion while we've been reading and these are just some of the things we've been discussing.

I like this online book club thing though!
