Inaccuracies in "Pledged"
I just stumbled upon the GreekChat site so hello everyone :-)
Had to add my 2 cents' worth. I also read "Pledged" and felt that the 4 girls didn't in any way have an unordinary college experience. I can honestly say that the discussions about boobs, excessive drinking, moderate drug use and promiscuous sex DO exist on EVERY campus and that these girls are no exception. When I lived in my sorority house we would have made dirty old men blush with our language and blunt descriptions of sexual encounters, etc. so the convos in the book didn't exactly appall me. While I can tell this book takes place in the south (I think), I go to school in California, and I think the girls' experiences could have been those of any co-ed at any school anywhere in the country.
The most intriguing part of the book was when Robbins blasted the cover off some sorority secrets (pg 285) I was flabbergasted when I saw my own GLO mentioned. And then I laughed, what she claims is our "closed motto" is absolutely incorrect. The phrase she uses is relevant to a Sigma Kappa but our closed motto is different. She must have been talking to some rather confused sisters...
