Oh come on... it's a fictional book (not even one that claims to be a documentary but reads like fiction). So the fictional SAEs haze in a novel set in the 50s. I got news for those guys who got so P.O'd at you. Fraternities in the 50s DID haze, and hazed hard. That is no secret (my Dad tells me interesting stories of his college experience as a Beta 1951-55 at Williams College-- where they don't have fraternites any more because of hazing) Neither does it reflect current policy in the slightest. If we didn't learn from past mistakes or misdeeds we'd never grow. Personally, the comments that you've made make me more likely to read the book.
As long as we're talking fiction that has Greeks in a positive light, I recommend "Outer Banks" by Anne River Siddens. It is the story of a group of Tri-Deltas (yes, she uses the names of real groups) getting together many years after graduation when one is ill. The past is told in flashbacks but it is a rich depiction of the value of sisterhood.
