Pledged- The Secret Life of Sororities by Alexandra Robbins


Before I came to college I read a book called Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities by Alexander Robbins. I didn’t know anything about sororities, and I was slightly afraid of them, so my friend told me it was a good book and that I should read it. My friend turned out to be completely wrong! Looking back now, now that I myself am in a sorority, most of the things that go on in this book are completely untrue. All it does is expose the dark side of Greek life, a side that is entirely nonexistent, well at least in my case.
All Alexander Robbins did was take sorority stereotypes, (such as drugs, psychological abuse, extreme promiscuity, racism, violence, and rampant eating disorders were just a few), and write about them in her book so more people would want to buy it. If you want an over the top, non true, portrayal of sororities and college life, then read this book! Or you can watch Animal House instead, its way funnier. =)
