Fictional University described
Okay, so I have made a first draft of our fictional university that is home to our fictional greek system. All this is based on what I've read, what I remember from my own university, and what a lot of you have suggested to me here.
Please give it a read and tell me if it sounds plausible.
Westlake College is a small private college, located in a small city 90 miles east of Dallas, Texas. With an enrollment of ~10,000, it's the largest private college in the state that's not affiliated with a major church (e.g. Baylor and TCU).
The college has ten fraternities and six sororities, of various sizes. Nine of the fraternities have houses: eight in residences of varying sizes in one neighbourhood, with the ninth "house" being a non-residential place (large rooms for events, kitchen, storage, restrooms, no bedrooms) in another part of town. The tenth fraternity is housed in one section of one of the larger men's dormitories.
At Westlake, the GLO members are not a big portion of the student body, though they are very active socially and very prominent in several student organizations, including the student government.
For the purposes of our story, we'll focus mainly on two of the fraternities, the one our boy Stephen wants to pledge and the one his father belongs to. The others are mostly going to be background, but they'll already be established if we need them to be more than background for later episodes.
So, does this scenario pass the obvious bullshit test?
