I don't think Paris, Lindsay or Britney would ever get a bid due being risks that have a dire need to be managed! Oh the horror stories and plagues the terrible trio could bring!

I think the author is a Theta? I've seen interviews with her and I thought that was mentioned. Too lazy to google it, though.
Never mind. I don't know why I thought that, but I can't find anything to confirm it. Just a figment of my imagination. Please disregard.

I can't say that Kappa is considered Southern per se, but it's always been my impression that it is very strong in Texas, where Marlyn Schwartz was a columnist. But maybe I just got that from Vanities (" KKG eternally.") and from Texan Kappa friends.

KKG has always seemed Southern to me because of the Fleur de Lis. (Sorry about the rhyming!)
I always think of the South or specifically New Orleans when I see a Fleur de Lis.

The Fleur de Lis is very New Orleans-ish, but that's because New Orleans is French, and so is the Fleur de Lis. Doesn't make the Fleur any less southern, just thought I'd throw that out there

Interesting. If Paris Hilton went through recruitment at a school with a large Greek System, do people truly believe she wouldn't get a bid?

Not my chapter. With the grade risk, the risk management, and (oh, the horror!) the jail sentence, I highly doubt that she'd be considered.
Money can buy a lot of things, but not intelligence nor class.

Just a random tidbit about the fleur-de-lis thing, it's one of the symbols of Florence, Italy. EVERYWHERE has the fleur-de-lis symbols (palaces, emblems, street lamps, on sewer guards)
The decorative boarder on this building made me think of KKG (i took the picture when I was there this past summer)-
keys and fleur-de-lis!
andddd I'll bite
I'd choose Hilary Duff over either of the Olsen's.
I'd choose old school Britt over old school Christina, but new school Christina over new school Britt.
and Jessica over Ashley.

Or a Bid to Kappa Kappa Gamma.
And the book is for sale on the Kappa Website, they would mention if it was by an alum.

even if collegiate members wanted to take a gamble, i can promise you that powers that be would see that they went bidless.

The fleur de lis comes to Louisiana from France by way of deported Acadians who brought it with them from Acadia to Louisiana (i.e. Acadia is a region in what is now Canada...it's basically parts of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick). Even Louisiana itself is named for King Louis XIV of France.
So, in that regard, the Fleur De Lis is actually quite Northern in origin (with the caveat that Acadia is not "yankee"...you Southerners can breathe a sigh of relief.  )
Wiki sums it up best: It is an enduring symbol of France, but, being regarded most notably as the emblem of the (French) monarchy.
