Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities by Alexandra Robbins

I really enjoyed reading this - as a Texas high school graduate who purposefully chose a college with no Greek system after being inundated with it already from being around SMU/ Highland Park too much, I found this to be a fair read showing both the pros and the cons. Plus, I enjoyed the author's writing style-it read like binge watching Gossip Girl, only backed up with facts and an extensive bibliography.
I do wish there had been some thoughts on how the Greek system is a reflection of America, because I think it is - the inclusiveness based on race, finances, looks, celebrity, and the non-importance of smarts, uniqueness, etc.
