Pledged

So... I mean, I didn't even go to a school that had sororities or fraternities on campus. All I know about sororities is from TV and magazines and etc. Ms. Robbins claims to have spent a year embedded into two sororities, but I'm pretty sure she knows the same amount of information about sororities as I do. Like throughout the book she keeps asserting that she doesn't want to perpetuate sorority stereotypes but then she does exactly that? I don't understand why she chose the (alleged) biggest “party” sororities on campus? Also in theory I like that she chose four specific sorority sisters to follow throughout the book but actually it turns out that if I cared about lame boyfriend drama I would watch Gossip Girl or sign into MySpace. Surprise!! Some sororities have big parties!! Surprise!! Some sororities are full of rich girls!! Shocking thesis!!

I was moderately interested in her discussion of black sororities vs white sororities but that was only like 5% of this book.
