I'm sure this has been discussed, but how does Ms. Robbins know what goes on in hist. black sororities as opposed to hist. white ones?
Granted, she did go undercover during an NPC rush, and is basing her findings off of that ONE experience, but what is she basing her experience with hist. black sororities from? Heresay?
ETA: Boo @ Joy for not sticking up for her sorority (or sororities in general).

She's actually very complimentary towards NPHC groups. I guess she took what she knew about achievement and activity at the alumnae level, and how more black women in major positions of power discuss their sorority membership quite openly, as well as the fact that the chapters are usually smaller, etc. There's an article in some sociological journal called, "Getting ahead or getting a man?" which compares the aims of historically black v. historically white sororities. She interviewed those who wrote their dissertations on the Greek system, as well as alumnae of NPHC groups. I guess they were much more cooperative than NPC groups.
I'm sorry, but I'm not losing any sleep over what the View had to say about Greek Life. Not every Greek alum looks back on their time with fondness--and some simply do not care, or agree with, statements made against the Greek system.
