I'm late in actually starting to read the book, but hey I'm broke...

So I'm about halfway through right now and in reading it, it seems to me like Robbins observed these women in an almost omnipresent fashion, as if they didn't realize she was there at all and obviously did not include her. There have not been any references to the sorority women actually asking her to participate or even speaking to her outside of their personal interviews. I find that slightly disturbing. It also bugs me that she writes about the girls' lives as if she were writing for a college-aged Sweet Valley High book... very annoying.

Like a lot of other sorority women on GC, I haven't found much of anything in this book that can relate to my own sorority experience or that of any other sorority woman I know. Seems her research was definitely very biased. I hope she can make some true girlfriends later in life because it's sad that she probably did not in or before her college years.
