The stories are true. I didn't have an "axe to grind" and the names were changed for legal reasons. If any of you actually read the book, you would be qualified to comment on it. GoBuckeyes has emailed me several times and seems to have taken an almost unhealthy fascination with the validity of my book and fraternity life in general.
Thank you to any and all that do check out my book, I would highly appreciate it. To those that just want to criticize with no grounds....to each their own I suppose.

Nothing against you and your book but I don't pleasure read any book that isn't a gift, trade, or at the library because that's how I roll so I am have nothing to say about it either positive or negative.
The website linked with your book about personal submissions is, I realize, a marketing tool since you vanity published you have to get it out there, but I see it reducing the legitimacy of your writing. There are a bevy of places people can post their "fratastic" stories and seeing that with your book may actually alienate potential readers. You mention your chapter/brothers falling apart and your chapter still exists so people may never even get to the underlying brotherhood and
bildungsroman themes if it gets buried under the "fratasticness" of others.
