It's A Good Book

I don't think this book is written in the best format possible, but the information it contains is good. Buy it if you are really interested in the content and can deal with a little nonsense in the formatting.

History

This book is recommended to members and anyone who is interested in joining a African American Greek Letter Organization. It gives a good history on the fraternities and sororities.

The book is kind of old, but the history is there.

Good but could be better

This book overall is great for someone interested in anj African-American Fraternity/Sorority. There are only a few downsides which include the distracting pieces of information about famous members on various pages. The profiles of these people should've had its own chapter. I also believe that the author has biased views since he is an Alpha and his wife is a Delta. I couldn't get over what he said about him thinking of Deltas when he thinks of the future and other similar staements (I probably misquoted but if you read the book you know what I mean). I understand he is entitled to his own opinion, but this book is suppose to be about history and facts. Leave the opinions out of it especially if you are obviously favoring one sorority/fraternity over the other. But overall it gave a good amount of history. I learned a lot by reading it.

Nice...

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book was written without bias and did an adequate job of providing information on the 'divine nine'. I think it's wonderful that a person can pick this book up as a resource of the historical backgrounds of our cherished greek organizations.
