I like the idea of the book. I guess as a local, I don't have all the rules and ties to a larger organization--just the pride in my own. So, just like all the national GCer's, I wouldn't want to submit anything too "revealing"--but do you really have to? I sincerely believe that every sorority girl has shared experiences with their sisters that don't give away secrets but still reflects the spirit of sisterhood--not that everyone would want to share them, but that there is a reason in all the symbols, and that the fact that we belong to a sorority indicates we believe in something intangible and organic behind the tangible symbolism. I think submitting stories that reflect the beauty in sisterhood is a great idea--not only would I buy a copy, but I'd get my anti-greek sister (biological) a copy too. I don't agree that leaving out the "bad" stuff is detrimentally biased--perhaps you can think of it as equal time. Of course, no one has to feel the same way I do, and in that case, don't submit. Navane, I wish you luck on your project--and though I couldn't possibly speak for all locals, if you do choose to donate a portion to charity, a philanthropy is cool, whatever the philanthropy.
