A friend of mine has the book and I glanced through it, but I didn't understand it so I put it down after the 1st few pages  . I'm sure it's a good book though.

You really arent's missing out on much. I read it and I felt like I was reading a Danielle Steel novel for the college-aged sect.

Welcome, but with that kind of attitude, don't be surprised if lots of GCers are far too busy or indifferent to accomodate your impatience.

Oh, I don't know -- you might find it interesting to read some of the posts in the 2930428349283429834234 threads that got a reference to Greek Chat into the introduction of the paperback edition.

Reason #2930428349283429834234 why I love Sinfonians.

I don't know I've always thought that the author was the girl depicted at the beginning of the book. (The one who was rushing a huge Texas school and her mom and sister were waiting at the house she was a double legacy too, yet she didn't recieve a bid there). Something like that might turn anyone off of greek life and make them want to write a "tell all" about it.
I basically stopped reading on like page 6 when she made the assumption that sorority girls came from money and that they were all the popular girls (like the cheerleaders) in high school. Her assumption that we are all that disgusted me and I stopped reading. Sold the book to bookmans, was able to then buy classroom books. Now, that was a better use of the money.

Ok, correct me if I'm wrong but she claimed in her Skull and Bones book to be a member of a "sister" org (as far as I can tell another secret society on campus) didn't she?
This bugs me because she acts sooooo baffled that people would care about their letters (or even just respect the current members enough NOT to share ritual) even in their old age.
