I agree with you.
When I read this book it hurt me, not as a sorority girl, but as a journalism major. I spent most of the time angry at her not because she was giving away "secrets" or calling sorority girls sluts, but because in doing this she was giving up all claim of being a journalist. The first thing they told me in Writing for the Media was that exposes are good, and it's up to us (Journalists) to expose the truth, but that we had to respect our subjects and that no one would ever be willing to give us an interview if we had the reputation of slandering or mocking them. This is just what she does, and I feel bad for the girls she followed, because they are the only ones who really should be hurt by this.
People who take this book as the honest and complete truth are usually people who wanted to think bad things about Greeks in the first place. The movie will prbably be the same.... though one of my sisters won't go to pancake feeds anymore because of this book
