i actually just read the sisters of theta phi kappa two weeks ago. it definately didn't have much to do with greek life. i don't know if she is greek or not, but in the acknowledgements she wrote,
"While the Theta Phi Kappa sorority is a fictional black sorority, it is inspired by the four black sororities that exist- the Delta Sigma Theta sorority, the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, the Zeta Phi Beta sorority, and the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority. In this story, I have tried to convey the same principles of educating, giving back, and dedication to one's communities that the above-mentioned sororities pride themselves on. Thank you, sorority sisters everywhere, for your desire to make the world a better place."

she then goes on about some other things and ends with, "Finally, to every sorority out there- thank you for giving women the opportunity to make lasting friendships. May the spirit of sisterhood live on!"

i thought was really very nice. of course, most people don't read the acknowledgements. lol. i will probably check out her new book because i did enjoy the first.
