Books on fraternity/Greek life

There is also:

Bound by a Mighty Vow: Sisterhood and Women's Fraternities, 1870-1920 by Diana Turk.

I own this book and I highly recommend it to all greek women. Ms. Turk is not a greek herself, but does present women's fraternities in a good light.

To quote part of the back cover: " Bound by a Mighty Vow, a history of the women's greek system, demonstrates that these organizations have always served more serious purposes" rather than being thought of as exclusive clubs for socially inclined college students. " Diana B. Turk explores the founding and development of the earliest sororities...and explains how these groups served as support networks to help the first female collegians succees in the hostile world of nineteenth-century higher education."

Kappa Alpha Theta archives were used as a primary source for this book but several other women's fraternities are also discussed.
