Here's an idea.
Instead of getting all pissed off about a reporter going undercover and writing a book about things she witnessed, why not take a look at how the sororities at your schools work? Why not try to change what the world outside of Greek Life views as vile or wrong?
Alexandra Robbins didn't write a book to make sorority girls mad. She did it because writing is her job, and she decided to explore an idea she had. It doesn't matter if you don't agree with her methods, or if some of her information is in dispute. Let's face it, sorority girls face problems: bullying, poor decision making, drugs, alcohol, school, sex, etc. So do all college students, but you've chosen to be a member of an elite secret society. People are going to pay closer attention.
So why not take this book as a wake-up call that the system is imperfect, and Greeks should get together and make a positive change at the local level. That's the best kind of response to this book you can take. Otherwise, you're like an ostrich burying your head in the sand if you think this author wrote a book because her sole purpose in life is to bring down the Greek System. She brought up problems. SOLVE THEM. Then you'll get your positive PR.
