I have been mentally preparing myself for this field and I like the writer, director, producer and sometime actor angle . . . marrying the three seems to be a key to longevity and getting noticed.
Ok an idea along the original concept:
IF you have a feel good movie about all the positive things Greeks do . . . well its probably going to come across as some lifetime original movie (Lifetime is the channel for women's programming) and likely to be touchy feely. If I can sit through the movie they usually leave me feeling a bit ill. The generally have insufficient conflict because often the movie is really about the closeness of relationships and the conflict is just designed to show that.
So basically many movies are kind of character based with the chapter being somewhat a character. Animal House had very distinct chapters that were reflected by their members.
I'm kind of rambling here but anyway it would be interesting to have some Conflict based show, in the tradition that something like NYPD was based on Conflict with the characters being developed by their reactions to that conflict.
So if something bad were happening, and individual Greek Members were involved positively, and dragged their chapters in positively, it might be more interesting to watch and be more believable.
