Title: Yellow journalism at its worst
Review: I would forewarn any worried parents of college-bound girls that this book is far more sensationalist than the critics urging you to read it would let on. The paperback version begins with a convenient dismissal of any would-be critics, claiming the book to be an objective, outsiders' account of what occurs when the typical girl joins a sorority. And it may be a true description of Alexandra Robbins' narrow field study, but it is nothing more than that - a glimpse of two specific sororities on one anonymized campus. There are many Greek systems across the country who do not approach the lewd behavior described on these pages. It is apparent that Ms. Robbins' motives for penning this diatribe are less than pure; I would have been severely penalized by my journalism professors for writing a piece of any length with such skew. Just take it with a grain of salt - and be advised that it's not especially well-written.
