Negative Positive
Title: Shock-Lit.
Review: This book shone some light on the horrors of Greek life in college. However, as someone who is *in* a sorority, I think it's more than a bit biased. One sorority doesn't tell the story of all of them and the "dangerous behaviors" this book focuses on (conforming, eating disorders, drinking, drugs, ect) aren't part of just Greek life... that's what it's like to be in college now. College-students are faced with those sorts of issues every day, regardless of whether or not they are in a sorority/fraternity. She fails to mention the real connections that are made, the academic excellence required by many sororities, and the philanthropic aspects of the sisterhoods. Robbins should put her energy into investigating something that's really a problem, like the over-whelming acceptance of rape and sexism in our society.
Is the review positive or negative?
