Among the Bros: A Fraternity Crime Story by Max Marshall

informative medium-paced

3.0

 This book was okay. I thought it was going to be different than what it was. I am not really sure where I got that this was some type of 1920s era murder story, but it wasn't hardly that. Fraternities are a hotbed of shenanigans. When we think of them, we often think about wild parties with plenty of drugs and alcohol, stories of hazing and hazing gone really wrong, sexual assault, promiscuity, and who even knows what else. All of that takes place in this book, but it also hits on the types of people that enter into fraternities. Many of them are legacy members, wealthy kids, and others with some degree of affluence. The thought really hadn't occurred to me, but it was interesting to read about. There are a great many scandals in organizations like this that people have yet to uncover, I am sure. Overall, the book was decent, and I am not mad at it.
