Are you saying these books cover the topic of hazing?

No, they don't, I was covering a wider area. If anyone has any books on hazing that meet or exceed Hank Nuwer's works, I'd love to know about them.

Yes, I was referring to In Search of Sisterhood.

I've read both Divine Nine and In Search of Sisterhood and for those it wasn't curiosity. Due to prior experience with being the chapter rep to the Alpha Phi Omega chapter at Howard, I'm at the point where one of my specialties in Alpha Phi Omega is the culture at the HBCUs and how culturally Alpha Phi Omega is different there due to the interactions with the NPHC. I wish I'd had both books when I was first rep to Howard, but neither had been published in 1992.

Good. Just making sure because this is a hazing thread.

I understand, which means it should have been phrased more along the line of

Hank Nuwer wrote great books on Hazing and its effects, however people who are interested in pledging should read other good books (examples here that don't include "Pledged") about Fraternities and Sororities about the good things and that touch on hazing before reading Hank Nuwer's works.

Better?
