Publisher's Summary:
From the author of The Fifth Avenue Artists Society comes this unforgettable historical novel based on the founding of the country's first sororities.
Illinois, 1881: Whitsitt College sophomore Beth Carrington has two goals to fulfill by the time she graduates: obtain a medical degree and establish a women's fraternity, Beta Xi Beta, that will help young women like herself to connect with and support one another while attending the male-dominated Whitsitt.
Neither is an easy task. The sole female student in the physicians' program, Beth is constantly called out by her professors and peers for having the audacity not to concentrate on a more "fitting" subject like secretarial studies. Meanwhile, secret organizations are off-limits, and simply by crowding together in a dank basement room and creating a sense of camaraderie, she and her small group of fraternity sisters risk expulsion.
In order to have the fraternity recognized, she knows she needs help. She turns to the most powerful student on campus: senior Grant Richardson, Iota Gamma fraternity president and the scion of a Whitsitt family - a man she's only acquainted with because of her longstanding friendship with his fraternity brother Will Buchannan. Staunchly traditional, Grant doesn't see the purpose of this women's organization, but captivated by Beth, he agrees to give her a helping hand. What she doesn't know is how many will stop at nothing to keep her burgeoning organization out of the record books - and who she can actually trust along the way.
As Beth fights for her beloved Beta Xi Beta to be recognized, she will uncover deep secrets about the college and those who surround her and will have to put both love and friendship on the line so that history can be made.

Great book for young women
Loved reading Secret Sisters. While I think it's a great read for all women, I especially think high school and college students would enjoy this read. It's an easy read and I love the historical perspective on sororities!
Novel Number Two !!!
A superb rendition of the difficulties encountered in establishing a sorority system when the powers that be only think that fraternities are valid..Mrs. Calloway did some period detail investigation which makes this so readable...
Beautifully written, captivating and compelling read.
I absolutely loved Joy's book. Beautifully written, captivating and compelling. I highly recommend adding it to your summer reading list or your book club list!
Great Historical Fiction!
I loved the characters (especially Beth) immediately. I felt so vested in what they were trying to achieve. I would get so upset when they were treated unfairly - I was always cheering them on! This is a great read, however, it should be a "must read" for all Greek women today!
Five Stars
I love it.
