Okay, guys, I'm back! I read a whole bunch of the books y'all recommended. Mostly the more recent ones as I had trouble tracking down a lot of the '50s stuff (Amazon had them either in poor condition or $$$$), and it was enlightening, so thank you for that.
I have finally managed to make an outline for each sorority on my fictional campus. I'd like to post those here, and have you guys look them over to make sure they don't come too close to any already existing GLOs, in name, colors, chapter, flower, etc.
I had some trouble with the founding of the sororities, because part of me wanted to put in founding colleges as fictional colleges, but part of me got really exhausted doing that. So right now, the only founding college mentioned is one without Greek Life, and is only mentioned because it is relevant. Additionally, I only put an explanation of the founding into those sororities that had particularly interesting foundings. These sororities are not necessarily more or less important to the story.
I'm going to put the list of sororities in a separate post, and it may take me a little while to format it, so please be patient (I just know everyone is champing at the bit to take a look).
Also, as I have them listed now, they're separated in "tiers" and listed with their stereotypes. I know this is v. bad form for Greek chat, but I did this in character for my protagonist, and as an 18-y-o freshman, that is how she views the system (at least at the start of the book). I can take these out and give you facts-only, in alphabetical order if y'all think that would be better.
Again, none of these is meant to represent or stand in for any real sorority. They are all national sororities, and belong to an NPC-like council.
