The book follows girls at a school in the South which I think gives a different outlook than sororities in the North or other parts of the country. Since the book keeps the school the girls are from a secret I looked online to try and find out which school it was and the majority of people said it was SMU based on certain traditions and description of scenery and other things. I lived in Dallas for 7 years which is just a few miles from the SMU campus and a lot of the things sounded very characteristic of the area. Most of the kids from Dallas dont like leaving Texas, let alone the South, and if they don't get in to University of Texas their parents make them go to SMU to maintain their social life because their sorority predicts their standing for the rest of their life. The author mentioned that this happens with a lot of Southern schools. I think that the book finds the most drastic cases of sororities and talks about those only to show how much sororities can impose on everyday life.
