About this ebook
"Told with humor and heart, this is a story of right versus wrong" set in the secret world of sorority life at the University of Mississippi ( Atlanta Journal-Constitution).
Cali Watkins possesses all the qualities sororities are looking for in a pledge. She's kind and intelligent, makes friends easily, even plans to someday run for governor. But her resume lacks a vital ingredient. Pedigree. Without family money Cali's chances of sorority membership are already thin, but she has an even bigger problem. If anyone discovers the dark family secrets she's hiding, she'll be dropped from Rush in an instant.
Lilith Whitmore is the well-heeled House Corp President of Alpha Delta Beta, one of the premiere sororities on campus. And she has a devious plan to ensure her own daughter receives an Alpha Delt bid—no matter what.
For twenty-five years, Miss Pearl has been housekeeper and a second mother to the Alpha Delt girls. When she's denied a well-deserved promotion, the injustice sets off a chain of events that will change Alpha Delta Beta—and maybe the entire Greek system—forever. Funny and poignant, Rush spins a heartfelt story that offers a rare inside look at a centuries-old tradition.
