well, I for one just finished it about a month ago and also am interested and dont give a damn what was done long ago...

Just direct your thoughts to the book now....it is one of the most visual of public relations tools out there to benefit or add further slams to the sorority system of membership.

I mainly was afraid that some dumb movie studio would try to do a film about it like the one they just released about stepping.....

Because I too agree that the old threads are dead, I'll entertain the topic here.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book. I mean, though not everything was perfect or ideal, it was very real to me. I mean for what didn't happen to myself, I saw similiar things happen to other people on my campus even. I don't think the book was harmful except to the people who failed to look at its positive aspects as well. I mean, as I recall, some of the girls made great friends and learned a lot through being greek...

The writer isn't greek, so I thought it was obvious that she had no clue what she was writing about. She was looking from the outside in. Though she followed selected girls throughout the book, I still think she over did it.

A friend of mine has the book and I glanced through it, but I didn't understand it so I put it down after the 1st few pages . I'm sure it's a good book though.

You really arent's missing out on much. I read it and I felt like I was reading a Danielle Steel novel for the college-aged sect.

Welcome, but with that kind of attitude, don't be surprised if lots of GCers are far too busy or indifferent to accomodate your impatience.

Oh, I don't know -- you might find it interesting to read some of the posts in the 2930428349283429834234 threads that got a reference to Greek Chat into the introduction of the paperback edition.
