Work What You Got: A Beta Gamma PI Novel (Beta Gamma Pi Series)
Contents:
Most helpful customer reviews on Amazon. Malloy Murray is a loner by choice.
She was raised by mother who was totally into her sorority, so much so that Malloy has always felt she came second. As such she is not sure that she is interested in joining Beta Gamma Pi. However, her mother, who is now the National President, is sold on her daughter joining. Mom is convinced that Malloy will learn about sisterhood and how to depend on others.
Malloy is not so sure, because she feels if she cannot depend on her mom, how can she depend on others? As soon as Malloy's sophomore year starts she runs into Kade, her brother's friend, who is a very fine star football player. Secretly, she has had a crush on Kade, and immediately after they meet, Kade seems just as interested in her. Things between the two heat up quickly. But, there is a slight problem, Kade already has a girlfriend, Sharon, and not only is she a Beta, she also has no intentions of allowing Malloy to date him.
Sharon could also stand in the way of Malloy getting into the sorority.
Stephanie Perry Moore
Immediately from that point The Way We Roll moves head long into issues of sisterhood, mother and daughter relationships and the rituals of sororities. Though, these are issues many run into, Ms. Perry Moore does a wonderful job of keeping the reader interested in where the story is going. Also, there are many lessons to be learned about bonding with others and doing the right thing.
I recommend The Way We Roll to all readers who enjoy a well-told, timely story about sororities, friendships and learning to trust. Malloy Murray is that chick, as far as some girls believe.

This means absolutely nothing as far as Malloy is concerned. A child of divorce, Malloy is looking for some sort of a connection to her family and wishes her mom, instead of trying to shove Beta down her throat, just accept her as she is. Is there a median? But Malloy isn't a sisterly kind of girl and she's ruffled too many feathers. While becoming a Beta could actually help repair her relationship with her mom, it could also jeopardize her budding romance with Kade Rollins, the starting line backer for the University of Southeastern Arkansas.
Can Malloy learn to love like it's real? To be honest, I wasn't feeling the first and I'm equally disappointed in this one. While the story is easy enough, my issues derive from the disconnection with the characters.
Beta Gamma Pi Novels Series
I don't know if the author, Stephanie Perry Moore, is afraid that she may possibly offend Christians, or if she actually believes young adults speak and act in this manner, but there is a definite void. I don't know how many books this series will contain, but I'm hoping that the author would in some way, shape or form find some way to add some authenticity, outside of the sorority, to the story.
Christians can use words, aside from cursing, that would articulate their feelings more accurately. From the time she was old enough to understand English, college sophomore Malloy Murray has heard and seen the rites and customs of Beta Gamma Pi Sorority. Her mother, the National President and her godmother live, and breathe for the lavender and turquoise.
At least that's what Hayden thought-until Myra, Bridget and Chandra announce a change of plans. Can Hayden and her girls hold onto their friendship as they pursue different paths? And speaking of pursuit, Hayden's caught the eye of Creed, a hottie she met her first year.

Hayden Grant is starting her sophomore year and has one major goal in mind - to become a member of Beta Gamma Pi sorority. Ever since her mother pledged, she has wanted to become a member, and redeem her mom for pledging "paper" rather than go through the undergraduate process, while also becoming a part of a sisterhood.
She was sure her friends Myra, Bridget and Chandra were also going to pledge Beta, but they each made a different choice. The Gamma has two parameters: His dad is getting pressure at his dealership for speaking out against discrimination. Now he has only one choice if he wants to find peace and keep his unraveling world together: We use cookies to give you the best possible experience.
Hayden is surprised to find her friends no longer plan to pledge with her and she has to go at it alone, but she is not deterred. Soon, Hayden finds herself in the midst of a pledge process and making decisions she never thought she would. In the midst of the drama, her leadership characteristics surface, but there's another side of her that takes over as well.
Every one around her seems to notice but her, which causes even more problems. And if the drama with sorority life isn't enough, Hayden's new boyfriend also brings challenges and questions to her life. Before it's over, Hayden must learn several important lessons in order to succeed and be the woman she is trying to become.
The first installment is full of drama teens, even those who aren't pledging a sorority, can relate to. She offers real-life situations with real life solutions without the preachy tone found in some inspirational novels.

Moore also does a good job developing her plot and her characters. I may not be a teen, but I'm already looking forward to what will happen in the next installment. Check this one out and I suspect you will be too. Freshman year, she and her roommates were at every single function hosted by the Beta's, so it's a given that they are all going to be on line together. However, when Hayden returns to school, she learns that her friends may have other plans. While Hayden is trying to pledge, maintain her grades, and keep the peace at home, her former study partner Creed makes his intentions known.
With both of them pledging, they believe that they can juggle all of the craziness. Will that hold true when Beta Gamma Pi consumes Hayden's entire life? Appealing was the history related to the sororities as well as God's presence and how when they were down someone suggested prayer. Regrettably, everything else was strained and discomfited. I had a very difficult time accepting the authenticity of the story and characters. While Work What You Got does have plenty of drama, I'm eager for an easier flow and tremendous growth in book two.
One person found this helpful. However she is taken aback when Myra, Bridget, and Chandra decide not to join her at Beta Gamma Pi; the four roommates seem to be drifting apart. Although she has issues with the hazing, Hayden goes along with the herd mentality saying nothing.
She regrets not voicing her reservations when a pledge nearly dies from a particularly nasty assault led by Keisha the Betas Big Sister Mean Machine.
