This could get interesting...

The book focuses on the "shadowy world" of helicopter parents, the 2400 SAT/4.0+ GPA/million APs/found the answer to world peace/won the Intel Award students. It primarily draws on students' experiences from an affluent high school in Montgomery County (DC suburb).

So, did she pose as a highschool student too, ala "Never Been Kissed".

They actually interviewed her on CNN about this DZ situation?? Wow, I thought CNN was credible enough to check their sources.

*sigh*

Why don't they actually interview a newspaper reporter/alum of a social GLO--a credible journalist with an authentic undergrad Greek experience? Not every alum has to state who they are an alum of to give a "Greek" viewpoint or religiously state the public relations party line of their organization. There are some levelheaded members of Greek organizations out there!

Katie Couric, anyone?

Because true journalists are supposed to remain unbiased.

Seriously, it would be like asking a journalist if s/he is republican or democrat.

BTW, Robbins is certainly not a journalist...please don't put her in that category! IMO, she's a writer of mostly fiction!

The networks just needed to find someone who would come on camera QUICKLY with some (dare I say) authoritative knowledge of sororities. Because Robbins wrote that book, she's considered a resource on sororities.

Too bad she doesn't know Jack Shit about sororities. Now I'm afraid that she'll be going around saying "Told ya so! It's all in my book!"

She's a freak show...
