I just picked this one up for a little summer reading! I hope it doesn't suck or piss me off, haha
A few have mentioned maybe IU as the possible setting for the book, so I'm especially interested to read and see what I think! A lot of the characterisitics described below fit IU (although we're not 'southern' per se, our system is very traditional and powerful), we have large houses that sleep lots of women, though we have 19 chapters, and hae deferred recruitment but technically start rush in the fall with the first round and continue it in january.
Also, the Beta Pi chapter of AXiD is at IU - i don't think we have an Alpha Rho - but we do have the Alpha Mu chapter of AXO... though i doubt she would make it that obvious!

Clues she drops, though she admits some, maybe most, are fake:
- The school is in the South, probably Texas
- 18 sororities
- The sororities have about 120-160 sisters, or in that general range
- They have houses
- The houses are large and hold a lot of sisters -- Beta Pi is described as sleeping almost 90 girls
- They have deferred rush -- to me this is the most important clue as it's out of the ordinary, especially for Southern schools, and most likely one that was NOT changed
- They have Homecoming, which they also refer to as "Greek Week," and they do serenading/courting to decide who Homecoming picks are
- The school and the Greek system in particular seem very status/wealth-oriented
