They take characters from television shows (she did some anime show) or scenarios (like greek life), select a part to play, get enough people to make it "interesting," then use a blog to "act out" scenes... Like..."The ABCs and the XYZs had a mixer last night. There was so much drama" and then the rest of the "actors" would leave comments in "reaction" to the original, and play off each other in words. An RPG seems to be like a fanfic with different authors...sort of.

It's really weird, but mostly a creative outlet in a roundabout way; I think this may be what is going on over there.

Even if it is a RPG (which I am kind of familiar with) whom ever created it could have had enough tact and respect to use fake organizations and not actual fraternities/sororities with established chapters. I mean, really.
