Question Anyone Familiar with E. Jean Carroll?

Is anyone familiar with author E. Jean Carroll? She is an advice columnist for Elle Magazine and has been a contributing writer for several other magazines such as Playboy, Rolling Stone and New York Magazine.

One of my (non-greek) friends recalled reading an essay E. Jean wrote called "Sorority Sisters". The crux of the article was E. Jean going back to her sorority during rush and writing about the time she spent with the active sisters and her take on the rush experience as someone who had long since graduated.

Has anyone ever heard of this essay? I enjoy her writing; she is absolutely hilarious, but I was just wondering how she chose to portray sorority life.

I did a google search and found that she is a member of Pi Beta Phi and that she wrote an article about her sorority for Playboy. I couldn't find the article though.

I aboslutely love her columns in Elle!

ETA: Here's the link to all the articles she's written (at least the ones that are on her site) I skimmed around and didn't find one about sororities, but maybe the article you are talking about is part of one of her books

I love E. Jean Carroll...her article "The Future of American Womanhood" in Esquire is one of my favorite articles of all time. But then again, Esquire is one of my favorite magazines. I do remember reading the rush article and thought it was funny as hell and well-written.
