Bound By a Mighty Vow by Diana Turk

Fabulous - and not just because it came out at the same time as the less than scholarly book "Pledged"  by Alexandra Robbins and immediately proved superior. Finally some historic validity to a seemingly dated institution that has so much to give. Figure that one out...

Using the archives of Kappa Alpha Theta, Turk explores the history of women's fraternities (sororities) and sheds light on why they're still viable for women today. While it should be a required read for women considering membership, it could also prove helpful to University administrators who seem to be constantly pondering whether or not Greek letter organizations are necessary on today's campuses.
