I'm withholding judgment till we see what she writes. It seems to me that this could turn out to be a positive thing if she handles it well -- there is so much negative speculation/rumor/gossip about what sororities do and what rush is like, and part of the reason those are taken seriously is that there's a dearth of honest, fair accounts out there. Think about how many young women go through rush each year, and how few articles or even novels depict what really goes on. There's hardly another activity that involves so many people and yet is such a closed book (and it's not like we're talking about ritual that has to be private). So I'd like to see more blogs and features in school papers and so forth expressing a variety of real experiences. Not only are they interesting to read, but they could go a long way toward countering all the myth and innuendo that's out there.
