Book pledged: the secret lives of sororities

[phisigduchesscv]

the book wasn't as bad as I thought. When I was reading the parts about the women I felt like I was reading a young adult novel about girls going off to the first year of college.

As for the ritual part, I was really nervous since she was supposed to have revealed info about my sorority. I had no reason to worry though - I think she got some of her info about passwords, etc from our signatures here on greekchat. From what I've seen most of the sororities on here have some form of LIT followed by whatever symbol. Well somehow she has the idea that LITP is our secret password.

Other "secrets" she supposedly reveals about other sororities talks about how different chapters in the same sorority have completely different rituals for initiation etc. From what i understand everyone of the national sororities have every one fo their chapters use the same ritual book so how could there be such different rituals for the same ceremony. Of course in the secrets section she is contanstly refering back to one particular website to reveal secrets.

I didn't like that she seemed to imply that all our older alum don't remember any of the meaning of our rituals. I've ran in to some alum that were initiated in the 50's, they aren't active as volunteers etc, but remember with love and pride the meaning behind things, etc.

The best way to think of this book is as MTV's sorority life in book form. Or even better this could have been the script for Sorority Life.
