Title: Fun book, but not worth the hype
Review: I enjoyed reading this book and found it to be reasonably accurate. However, as others have stated, there's nothing really new here. So, "general" (i.e. white) sororities are shallow and not every member is happy or friends with every other member in her chapter. Sororities are more about partying than they are about service. We all knew this going in.The bigger problem I had with the book was the author. Robbins' style and tone were not even remotely "unbiased" or objective. She seriously had it in for these sororities and greek life in general. Yet she also had a vague sense of idolizing them and wanting to fit in with the sisters (check out the part where she describes herself as passing for a college student friend of the girls.) It just seemed like she had some issues of her own to work out.
Is the review positive or negative?
