I don't think that many of the dynamics that Ms. Robbins speaks about in her book are true to only sorority life but true to a girl's life. At my boarding school we had the same drama about roommates, boyfriends and senioritis!
I mostly feel that this book takes the facts from four girls lives and blames their problems on sorority life and not the reality of the college.

you hit the nail on the head. i went to an all-girls boarding school too and you know what was different? Not a whole lot. We had colors and a mascot (the snail...we rocked
) and the same cliques and problems that sororities have, but maybe not as many boy problems since, HA!, where did we find them? We were too busy doing homework
Prep schools are fabulous at teaching you how to speed read at 3:30 in the morning.
