Also, what are the books out there that you feel portray Greek Life realistically? (I know someone mentioned there are such books out there, but who is the author and stuff so I can look it up)

And it's usually with a very bitter, Greek hating vibe to it.

OP, I don't see why anyone in your story needs to be Greek. If you want a murder mystery or whatever, do it but I don't see the point in having Greeks involved in it. If it played into the story, fine whatever. Yours doesn't play into the story and you're drastically unaware of Greek life.

People said write what you know. I'd agree but also say that it seems like you're just trying to add Greeks in for an added kick to your audience, perhaps to interest more readers. It doesn't really seem necessary to the story.
