I don't know if an on-campus struggle for student government control would be of interest to the masses. I also come from California, where greeks generally do not occupy most of the higher student government positions (not for lack of trying). This is probably a regional thing.

I have not yet come across any book, TV show, or movie that portrays my experience in greek life, but this is because I belong to a national Latina sorority. Still, I would tend to believe that depictions of NPC-style sororities that I have seen are not very realistic. I think a person really has to be a member in order to be able to write a realistic book or movie script about greek life.
