I read the book and didn't draw the same conclusions as you did, and Ms. Butler is my soror. I didn't feel that the book "gave away" too much information, though I did think that it lacked character development depth. I also would have preferred if it she had chosen different color schemes when talking about the one fraternity mentioned, as well as the sorority the girls were pledging. I think making up fictional greek organizations would have been better, as E. Lynn Harris has been careful to do in his books (even though we all have our guesses as to what organizations he means).
Nonetheless, it was entertaining and I don't think it tells anything that non-greeks who went to school back when pledging was above ground wouldn't already have known. You really should read the entire book before making up your mind completely.
