Title: Disappointing
Review: I approached this book with the idea that Robbins was going undercover to give a firsthand account of sorority life. I was disappointed to find that she was simply following several sorority sisters, observing and interviewing. The book suffers as a result.Also, it is not organized well. Robbins moves back and forth from the stories (which are surprisingly boring) of the sisters to her research about themes that arise from the sisters' tales.Her conclusion was didactic and did not fit with the tone of the rest of the book.I have no idea why Greeks are so upset by this book (except, as Robbins points out, that they probably have not read it). It is hardly an expose. I was bored and felt that I wasted my time reading it. Current, former, and future Greeks seem a better audience for this uneven, flat book.
