Miss Mocha, I understand what you are saying. However, just as there are black women who have themselves together mind, body and sould, there are black women who don't. There are black women who do act like the main character in this book. This is just a reality.
Not all members of an organization have themselves together personally. I know members with problems(in all organizations). They may have personal issues that causes them to make bad moral decisions, but that doesn't interfere with them getting the necessary grades and doing what they need to for their organization.
Yeah, the main character was in her 30's, but age is just a number. People develop differently. A question I would have is why so much focus on the negative? What about the positives of the book which I won't state for those who haven't read it. What about the mistakes made and lessons learned in the book? There are many positive aspects in the book especially at the end which of course is the most important part of the book and need to be acknowledged in my opinion.
There are other books by authors that portray black women in a positive light, but this one doesn't. Maybe the author knew someone that was like this(may have be a soror to explain why she added the greek part) and was writing from personal exprience. We as the public may never know. But I just think that it wasn't supposed to be taken this seriously.
