[quote=Anonymous]I would love it if someone could explain the appeal. I just finished Alexandra Robbins' book Pledged and could not find one redeeming feature, not even the ones she claimed. It seemed like a ridiculous bunch of shallow women keeping the middle school cafeteria going their whole lives because they had so little else to recommend them that they had to turn this rubbish into life-or-death. To say nothing of the rampant racism, debauchery, drunkenness, and promiscuity, while hypocritically claiming the exact opposite. I started the book hoping to get stereotypes dispelled and instead found them confirmed. Every sorority booster in the book seemed to have Stockholm syndrome. I felt like I was reading about alien life forms in a YA dystopian novel, it was so unrelatable. The historically white national sororities, anyway. The independents and the minority ones sounded much more tolerable. [/quote]
