Book Reviews of Bound By a Mighty Vow: Sisterhood and Women's Fraternities, 1870-1920
Book Review: Approachable study of sorority origins
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a sorority alumna and adviser. The best thing I got out of this book was an understanding of the true purpose of most sororities when they started and how they struggled to balance the needs of their collegiate and alumnae members as the organizations aged. So many people now think of sororities as simply social organizations that I think it would be amazing if they understood that these groups were created to encourage female students who were outnumbered and looked down upon as they integrated colleges and universities. As sororities aged their alumnae members faced many of the concerns and negative stereotypes that we are facing again and I hope we can learn something from the way they handled these problems a century ago.
