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.

Yes, she was a member of one of the other clubs. She acts all bewildered because she feels that she is "above" all that. She just joined that club out of curiosity more than anything else.

And then used her connections to get the S&B boys to talk to her.

She opened her mouth about a prestigious organization that tapped her as one of 15 to join?
