“It’s like the Lost Cause dressed in Lilly Pulitzer.”

A big thank you to Mike Ayalon, CEO of Greek University, for having me back on The Fraternity Foodie Podcast. I join Elizabeth Bronwyn Boyd, author of Southern Beauty: Race, Ritual, and Memory in the Modern South, to discuss sororities’ continuing preoccupation with the southern aesthetic—and the performance of southern ladyhood in particular.

I join Think With Krys Boyd from KERA Dallas, Texas to discuss Women of Discriminating Taste.


Is there a southern belle in every sorority girl?

Nell Beram reviews my book for the Portland Press Herald - Maine Sunday Telegram, January 31, 2021.

I recently had the pleasure of stopping by the Fraternity Foodie podcast where I spoke with Michael Ayalon, CEO of GreekUniversity, about my research on the history of white college sororities, as well as my own involvement in a college sorority.
