    Pros: None

    Cons: Mostly Ridiculous

    this book pissed me off. I'm a PHC member and I can't believe sisters would share such private information on rituals! My own sorority was mentioned, and I thank God that the information given was wrong. If you're willing to reveal ritual..., you aren't a true sister and you shouldn't be greek in the first place. Further more,if i had been hazed I would have walked out that door. I'm glad my sisters are for bonding not beating. Read more Less

    Exposed.

    By carly  Nov 7, 2004

    Pros: Gives an interesting insider's view

    Cons: Exposes ritual

    I am from a small college and belong to a PHC sorority. I was never hazed or experinced any of the negitive aspects shown in this book. Had I read "Pledged" before rushing, I never would have joined and would not have the Greek Life that I ...have come to love. I was very mad when I read the chapter that exposed some sorority rituals, including handshakes and secret mottos (most sororities have an open and a private motto). I was not only angered that sisters would tell these speacial and secret things, but that the author would publish them. I now know a lot of secrets about one of the other PHC sororities on campus, and I was pleased to see that my sorority had not been exposed in the chapter. Read more Less

Publisher Notes: Pledged

  • Alexandra Robbins was puzzled when her eighteen-year-old sister announced that she planned to rush one of her college??'s many sororities. Wanting to find out if the clich?? stereotypes about sorority girls were actually true, Robbins went undercover in a sorority house to research subject. And she was stunned by what she learned. Combining a fast-paced narrative with the extensive reporting of investigative journalism and the fly-on-the-wall voyeurism of reality shows, Pledged follows the narratives of the sorority girls. Stories include tumultuous breakups, fights between "best friends," drunk driving, a stalker-boyfriend, a sorority cover-up for a gay frat boy who can't tell his fraternity, a professor hitting on a sister who's in love with him, theft, a pathological liar, a rape by a fraternity boy, sorority activities involving nudity, multiple conversations about breast size, and an abundance of drugs and alcohol, and much, much more. Controversies aside, Pledged is a look at a world that is fascinating to outsiders.
