I'm curious as to what "realities" he's looking for.

Nothing Greek surrounding this story needs to be realistic for the story to be entertaining. While I didn't see 'Sorority Row', I know the plot and have seen the previews, and I'm guessing that it wasn't accurate (regarding Greek life) in the least. But I know that people went to see it. And even if I did watch it, I wouldn't expect it to accurately portray the Greek system.

Now, if you take the TV show 'Greek', that is something I watch hoping for some detailed facts about Greek life to be mentioned or shown. I mean... the show is CALLED 'Greek'!

Since the OP is looking for a plot that more closely resembles the former example rather than the latter, I'm not sure why he needs any further information regarding Greeks.

He wants a drunk sorority girl to run someone over and hide the body. Why is any "research" needed?

ETA: After going back and reading his original post, these three comments kind of bothered me...

Positive? Really? Yes, I believe running someone down in the street and covering it up is very positive.

I want to avoid the cliches and stereotypes seen in movies and novels that involve sororities.

So... why are you simply trying to re-make 'Sorority Row' but throw in an extra murder and a priest?

Already, one question I have is what are sorority parties like?

Funny that this was your FIRST question... ya know, after claiming that you don't want to portray any Greek stereotypes in your story...
