Thanks to all of you who have given helpful suggestions. I really love the idea of her claiming to be a legacy of a founder. Of course, she is going to get busted in the end and this would make her fall a little harder.
As a writer I like to challenge myself by writing about subjects/experiences that I haven't personally experienced. While I will never know the intense bond that sorority members share, my hope is that I am a skilled enough writer that I can portray it genuinely enough for my reader. This isn't my first book, when it is complete it will be my fourth. My publisher gears my books toward 11 + up and even though I could fudge everything, I would like the experiences to be as realistic as possible.
As for the Meri Sugarman books, which I love, I think the author does a pretty good job creating a unique sorority(although obviously not realistic), especially since they are all written by a man.
