Pledged: The Secret Life of Sororities
reviewed on + 44 more book reviews


New York Times bestselling author Alexandra Robbbins spent a year undercover with a group of sorority girls. Her worst expectations were met and surpassed-extreme promiscuity, drugs, psychological abuse, racism, violence and rampant eating disorders were just a few of the problems. But even more surprising was the fact that these abuses were inflicted and endured by intelligent, successful, and attractive young women.
Pledged is an extraordinarily gripping narrative that reads like a bestselling novel. With fly-on-the-wall voyeurism and remarkable insight, Pledged is a fast-paced account that manages to both expose the dark side of sorority life and endear its participants to us...from the back of the book.
