Worst book review I've ever read, hands down. This woman needs therapy.

Maybe she was the one at Reader's Digest who got my dad's letter telling them to go @#$% themselves because they screwed up his subscription and it sent her over the edge.

Co-sign. That wasn't a review. That was a rant and an incoherent one at that.

 "the reader doesn't learn anything about "the secret life of sororities"--unless, that is, you didn't already know that sorority girls are drunk whores."
Personally I just think she's jealous because she didn't get a bid in college.

Since she went to Yale and was in a secret society there, that's pretty unlikely...the secret societies are FAR harder to get into than the sororities. (That's not a slam -- just a fact.)

I thought she was speaking about Zimmerman, the TNR Author, who does not have the glitz, the glam, or anything similar to Yale and the tomb societies.
ETA: The Author went to SUNY Binghamton - a school that does carry a lot of the sorority girl stereotypes.

What stereotypes are those? Greeklife was small there and, from my experience, not the stereotypes described at length in threads on GC. She was there in the early to mid 1990's so maybe things changed since then.

Binghampton definitely has the stereotypes Robbins talks about down pat, from the Tiffany and LV everywhere (which is really just a rich girl stereotype) to the eating disorders and rampant hazing. I know two girls who have depledged from sororities there for behavior that was absolutely insane.

The stereotypes are brought over by the long island kids. I don't know how it was back then - only what it's like now.

Umm, I'm looking at Binghamton's website and I can't even find a list of what all Greek groups are there, let alone links to the individual sororities & fraternities. That doesn't exactly scream big stereotypical sorority system in my book...

Yeah, I was just kidding, but I was talking about the author of the book review not Robbins.

Nobody said it was a big stereotypical sorority system. I did however say they carry a lot of the sorority girl stereotypes. And Greek life is definitely not a small thing there...they are very visible but I don't know the percentages.
