Why Paris Hilton Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma
I saw a new book called "A Southern Belle Primer: Or Why Paris Hilton Will Never Be a Kappa Kappa Gamma." I assume it's a newer version of the "Princess Margaret" one? Has anyone read it? I love the original and will order this one if it's different enough.

They probably just changed the subtitle on the original book to make it more popular with a new generation.
The book was very cute though.

So if you had to extend a bid to one of 'em, who would it be - Miss Hilton or Princess Margaret?

Assuming that Princess Margaret was still alive, she would have the advantage of being royalty. Paris Hilton just thinks she's a princess.
But I don't see either making the cut, IMHO.

What is a Sorority?

I don't remember the source of this quote but it went something like..."a sorority is a place where Mick Jagger would be welcome, but his daughter wouldn't!" So my answer to these either/or choices would have to be neither. No class among any of them.
As far as the author, "Marlyn" using the last name Schwartz as a psuedonym, I had to laugh. Who in her right mind would choose that name? I once read that a really bumble-headed reporter met Tony Curtis' father and asked him, "So, what made you change your last name from Curtis to Schwartz?" (Tony Curtis' real name is Bernard Schwartz).
I checked the SDT directory and there were many Schwartz's listed, but no Marlyn's. It could be her married name and she uses her maiden name in the Kappa directory.

Here is the quote from the "Princess Margaret" version:
Anyone can sign up for Rush at Southern schools. The uninitiated have no idea what to expect.
First, it is essential to have letters of recommendations from past members. These letters explain how lovely a girl is, how lovely her family is, how precious her wardrobe is, and how rich her daddy is. Alums will write anything they deem necessary to get their favorite rushees into the chapter.
One Georgia Chi Omega recalls back in the seventies that someone wrote a letter giving intimate detail of the house a rushee lived in. The letter pointed out the parents loved to entertain and would always throw great Chi O parties in Atlanta. Family connections to celebrities is a big plus too. If a girl could promise to get Mick Jagger to a sorority dance because he has business dealings with her father, that girl would probably get a Kappa bid. But Mick Jagger's daughter might have a hard time getting in even if her father came to visit every weekend.

This thread reminds me of an old one in which people were speculating that Britney Spears wanted to attend LSU and pledge Chi O there. *Shudder*!

Thank you, Fleur de Lis, for validating the quote about Mick Jagger and his daughter. I'll have to buy that book!

Back to the book - are the pictures updated? I have the original book, and the pictures are very 80s.

It's working now. There was only one "Maryln" that popped up. It didn't concern me that neither her maiden nor last name was listed as "Schwartz" because "Schwartz" could be a pen name. She does live in Texas, but her occupation has nothing to do with journalism/writing. No one popped with the last name of "Schwartz" with the occupations of journalism, publishing, or writing. I just don't think the author of the book is a Kappa.

It's the same exact book, but with a different subtitle.
