I read the book too out of curiousity to see the other side of greek life of sorority members who were not in predominantly Black Sororities. I felt that she generalized and made sensationalized accounts of the lives of the members. I felt that it could be viewed negatively to disparage the lives of those in those organizations and their behavior. I found most interesting the account of a Black woman at the University of Alabama and her attempt to integrate into the predominantly white sororities, and her outright rejection resulted in her decision to form her own sorority with a diverse membership.
I didn't feel that she was biased toward predominantly Black sororities as this was not the focus of her book.
