It has been a while since I read the book, and although her use of language and structuring of the anecdotes she relates may be suspect, she doesn't claim to represent every single woman's greek experience. So you can't say she is wrong in what she says because YOU didn't experience it, any more that you can claim your great experience represents that of every other greek woman across the country.

I am prob going to get ripped a new one for this, but it is just food for thought.

You shouldn't get ripped, cuz I'm sure at some campuses it's true.

I had a great experience, but I don't know what other campuses are like, so I can only say the book wasn't true, per universities in Michigan.
