Alexandra Robbins wanted to find out if the stereotypes about sorority girls were actually true, so she spent a year with a group of girls in a typical sorority. The sordid behavior of sorority girls exceeded her worst expectations -- drugs, psychological abuse, extreme promiscuity, racism, violence, and rampant eating disorders are just a few of the problems. But even more surprising was the fact that these abuses were inflicted and endured by intelligent, successful, and attractive women. Why is the desire to belong to a sorority so powerful that women are willing to engage in this type of behavior -- especially when the women involved are supposed to be considered 'sisters'? What definition of sisterhood do many women embrace? Pledged combines a sharp-eyed narrative with extensive reporting and the fly-on-the-wall voyeurism of reality shows to provide the answer.

Patent holders are increasingly making voluntary, public commitments to limit the enforcement and other exploitation of their patents. The best-known form of patent pledge is the so-called FRAND commitment, in which a patent holder commits to license patents to manufacturers of standardized products on terms that are “fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory.” Patent pledges have also been appearing in fields well beyond technical standard-setting, including open source software, green technology and the biosciences. This book explores the motivations, legal characteristics and policy goals of these increasingly popular private ordering tools.

"...this fleet-footed novel will keep you rooted to your seat until the closing pages...Broken Pledges promises a killer good time!" - Indies Today A fraternity pledge dead. His pledge brother being investigated for murder. A Father trying to prove his Son's innocence. In 1993, while attending South Cuthbert University, Chase Dempsey made the fateful decision to pledge the Kappa Chi Rho Fraternity. That's when a hazing event gone wrong would change his life forever. His pledge brother, Chris Wilbanks, was now dead, and many believed that Chase was to blame. The stigma would follow him for years, even after he was cleared of all wrongdoing. Nearly thirty years later, Chase is now a Homicide Detective in Philly, and has put the events of that night behind him, or so he thought. One phone call would thrust Chase back into a world that he hoped to never see again. His son, Scott, now himself a student at SCU and pledging Kappa Chi Rho, has found himself fighting the same battle that his Father fought so many years before. He is being investigated for the murder of his own pledge brother. Chase is now working the most important case of his life - a case that will lead him right back to the one responsible for the death of Chris Wilbanks. Can he find out the truth before it's too late?
