Critical Analysis of the Novel "Sorority Sisters"
The book that I chose to read was Sorority Sisters by Tajuana "TJ" Butler. Sorority Sisters is an African-American fiction.

The sorority that the ladies want to become a part of is the Pink Plush Rush, an African-American Sorority. The setting of this story is at a college whose location is not stated in the book.
