What books about Fraternities and Sororities do you recommend or recommend against...


Recommend:
Baird's Manual of American College Fraternities: Last Edition published in 1991, but definitely still worth reading.

Broken Pledges: (or for that matter anything by Hank Nuwer). Good book on Hazing, written by someone who is *not* anti-fraternities and sororities.

Divine Nine: Pretty good book about the NPHC

In Search of Sisterhood: History of Delta Sigma Theta that has been published in the wider market.


Recommend Against:
Pledged: very sensationalistic.

Fraternity Gang Rape: (By Sanday) Truly a sickening book. Supposedly intended as a sociology textbook I guess. If the stories in there are true, she has enough detail that people should have been prosecuted and if they are false, they are useless. From looking at her other work, she definitely had an anti-fraternity fraternity view before she wrote the book.
