I was wondering if anyone else read this book. The author, Koren Zailckas has a whole chapter dedicated to greek life and the rest of the book is about her and alcohol and how her sorority made her abuse worse. she is more anti-greek than the author of Pledged. Zailckas was in a sorority and dropped out of it her Senior year so she wrote about tons of secrets. She also writes very badly of fraternities.. here's a quote:

"I've decided that fraternities and the boys in them are hazards. At universities, they are the last booby trap that women have left to dismantle. They are the self-flooding springkler system that would drive us violently away. I think fraternities should be dismantled. When you crack open the fraternal system and see it clearly, you realize how outrageous it is, in this day and age, that organizations still exist to protect the interests of white males-- namely, drinking and sex.
No structure needs to further these boys' advancement. They have gone as far as the game goes. They have collected all the Monopoly money, and earned the title of all-time champions. Any funds fraternities raise for charitable organizations, all the Habitat for Humanity houses they can build, will not compensate for their utter destructiveness. They take far more than they give. They've had their cake, and eaten ours, too."

That's just one example of how bitter she is towards greek life. I am curious if anyone else has read this book and your thoughts toward it.

Sounds like more than her cake needs to be eaten
