The book that I chose to read was Sorority Sisters by Tajuana “TJ” Butler. Sorority Sisters is an African-American fiction. This fiction novel is about five young ladies all at a college together and they soon plan to join a sorority. 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. Some of the characters of Sorority Sisters are Cajen, Jason, Patricia, Stephanie, Sidney, Howard, Richard, Will, Jeff, Chancey, Malena, and Tammy.
Cajen is one of the main characters in this book. She is a freshman who has unprotected sex with a guy on campus by the name of Jason. Jason is known as the “cutest guy” on campus. One day Cajen fell for him and slept with him and he gave her herpes, which she thinks will change her life forever. She tries to keep it to herself that she has gotten a STD from Jason but her line sisters make her tell them “what’s up”. She tells them and they were all shocked because they never knew that Cajen had a relationship going on with Jason. Cajen tries very hard to get in touch with Jason. One night at a fund-raiser that her sorority is having, she sees him there and they leave and she talks to Jason privately. Jason goes on and on telling Cajen how much he loves her and she falls for it. Then one night she was walking into her dorm and she saw Jason with this other girl. She then realizes Jason was a liar and that she no longer wanted him to be in her life. Cajen moves on with her life and takes things very slow with this guy Eric.

Fahrenheit 451 By: Ray Bradbury Life may be confusing to you when your job is to commit arson to any house that has a book in it. At least that's the way it was for Guy Montag. Guy Montag was a fireman and in the future, a firefighters job wasn't to stop fires, but it was actually to start them.

Tiara is also a main character in this book. She is the oldest of five children and the first person from her family to go to college and soon graduate from college. Tiara was born and raised in the projects of Gary, Indiana by a single parent. She has a mentor, Rhonda from the Big Sister program, which she entered when she was younger. Tiara also became a member of the Pink Plush Rush. She enjoyed becoming a part of a sorority and loved each of her line sisters.
Chancey is another main character in this book. Chancey entered college as a sophomore because of her great photographic memory. Before she joined the Pink Plush Rush she felt like an outsider or a geek, because of her intelligence. Her sisters told her to be proud that she was so intelligent. They liked it that she was so intelligent because when the Big Sisters would talk, she absorbed all of the information, and later they could all re-talk about what the Big Sisters had discussed. Chancey was the girlfriend to Donald who was one of the best football players at the college. She was scared about their relationship going downhill because she knew that Donald was in the top twenty-five to be drafted to the NFL. Donald really liked Chancey and she really liked Donald. One day he blindfolded her and took her to the college football field and proposed to her. They planned to get married as soon as she graduated college.
Stephanie was another main character, she was born to a mother on drugs and was put up for adoption. She was adopted by Howard and Patricia Madison who were very wealthy. She was ashamed about being the child of a crack mother; she was also ashamed of being adopted because she felt that the Madison’s were not her real parents. Stephanie also became a part of the Pink Plush Rush. When she became a part of the sorority her line sisters convinced her that Howard and Patricia were her real parents because she had been with them since birth. Stephanie became President of her sorority. Her boyfriend was Jeff.
Lastly, Malena is another main character. She is the Vice President of the Pink Plush Rush. She is the girlfriend to Ray. Malena struggles with her weight but her line sisters help her out. She enjoys being a part of the sorority and dearly loves each of her line sisters.

Sorority Sisters is a great book and I recommend it to any girl entering college. It introduces you to many aspects of college life. I am rating this book a 50 because I enjoyed every moment of it and it hooked me quick; I’ve truly never read a better book!
