Negative Positive
Title: Broken pledges
Review: Although I graduated from art school (no sororities there!), I grew up in an atmosphere where college/sorority life was highly important. So I've long been curious what my friends-become-sisters were all about. This book, however, disappointments. I so would have appreciated an overview of the sorority system, history, tenants, principles, et al. before being dropped in on Alexandra Robbins' narrative. And she never hooked me. I was constantly trying to figure out who was who, where they were in relation to each other and what they were actually doing. Plus the more I read about these girls the less I wanted to know about any of them. I blame that on mushy writing and poor editing; the subject still interests. So after 100 or so pages I said goodbye to Sigma Delta Whatsnu and will just have to rent "Animal House" again.
Is the review positive or negative?
