Frat Girl
Inkyard Press/ HarperCollins
There’s a feminist in the frat house.
In order to secure a scholarship to attend one of the nation’s most prestigious universities, freshman Cassie Davis pitches a project: to join Delta Tau Chi, an embattled fraternity and document their behavior. But getting the scholarship is only the beginning.
“Frat Girl is a telling tale of feminism, fraternities and freshman year. Compelling, creative and cleverly written.”
Synopsis
College life can be complicated—challenging, rewarding, downright frustrating—and a lot of fun. Warren University freshman Cassandra “Cassie” Davis is more than up for all of it. Which leaves Cassie facing the dreaded F-word…
Fraternity—specifically Delta Tau Chi, a frat house on the verge of being banned from the school. Accused of offensive, sexist behavior, they have one year to clean up their act.
With one shot at a scholarship to the school of her dreams, Cassie pitches an unusual research project—to pledge Delta Tau Chi, take on the boys’ club and provide proof of their misogynistic behavior. It’s different, but it’s not against the rules, and she’s pretty sure she knows exactly what to expect once she gets there. Which means the DTC brothers will have to face the dreaded F-word…
Feminist—the type of girl who thinks they’re nothing but tank-top-wearing “bros” and is determined to see them booted from the school.
But Cassie soon realizes things aren’t as simple as they appeared. Some of the DTC brothers, including her fellow pledge, Jordan Louis, are much more than she ever expected to find in a frat house. With her academic future on the line, and her heart all tangled in a web of her own making, Cassie will ultimately have to define for herself what these F-words are all about.
