I just finished Sorority Sisters. I've got to rain on this parade...I just didn't like it. The chapter-by-chapter rotating first person writing style was confusing...I kept going back to check the chapter titles to remind myself which character was narrating. It also annoys me when an author writes witty, sarcastic banter that isn't really very witty, then self-congratulates by having characters comment on how funny the speaker is.
The parts I liked were: describing Monday night formal dinner/meetings, the clueless housemother, the panty raid, and the ongoing feud with the sorority next door. I would have liked a lot more of that, and less "yet another sister dumped by yet another guy and now their lives are lonely and sad...and they're still sad years later" and "here's where each sister is sitting at the table and what they're wearing" and getting a semester-by-semester report on who was rooming with whom, where their room was located, etc. There really wasn't a plot...it was a "bed to bed" story.
