    3 1 2 starsAs a historian, I think that this was a well written albeit brief survey I question her tendency to apply the history of Kappa Alpha Theta to all NPC sororities I am curious to know why she chose Theta to focus on, as she is not affiliated I wonder if that happened to be who would let her have access to their archives As a fraternity woman Alpha Gamma Delta , I was less impressed I believe that the first generation women s organisations do generally follow the history set out H 3 1 2 starsAs a historian, I think that this was a well written albeit brief survey I question her tendency to apply the history of Kappa Alpha Theta to all NPC sororities I am curious to know why she chose Theta to focus on, as she is not affiliated I wonder if that happened to be who would let her have access to their archives As a fraternity woman Alpha Gamma Delta , I was less impressed I believe that the first generation women s ...

    I am a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and found this book to be utterly amazing I read it shortly after my new member period and learned a ton about sorority life and the history of my sorority I would suggest this book to anyone in Student Affairs or anyone interested in the history of sororities.

    The history contained in this book is very interesting Written by an unaffiliated women researching mostly only the history of Kappa Alpha Theta, the conclusions she draws must be read with a critical eye This is not the whole picture albeit one interesting perspective.

    I am very much enjoying this book A little different, as it it is about a fairly narrow topic, but I am learning a lot

    Fabulous if only because it came out at the same time as that trashy book Pledged Finally some historic validity to a seemingly dated institution that has so much to give Figure that one out
