Lightbulb New Book Project - for Charity

Between MTV and Alexandra Robbins and now ABC Family's Greek, there is a lot of media out there to fuel the Animal House stereotypes of Greek life. I would like to counteract that with a sort of Chicken Soup-esque book about real sorority life. I am looking for stories about what being a sister is all about. Happy or sad, funny, inspirational, uplifting, anything goes.

To a point. I am going to apply a few guidelines just to help organize things a little.

**2000-3500 words. This will make your story about 4-6 pages in a 6x9 standard novel. Longer is fine, I'm not going to count words or pages but I really would prefer nothing too much shorter.

**Steer clear of stories that might be considered stereotypical - drinking, partying, hazing. We're trying to go a different route with this book.

Also, I would like to donate all of the proceeds from the book to a women's charity. I was thinking something like the Susan G. Komen Foundation or Take Back the Night but I'm open to suggestions.

If you have a story you would like to submit, go ahead and send it to contact@spoonbenderpress.net (be sure to include your name, organization and chapter, with college) but I'm not sure when this will happen. Right now I'm just gathering opinions and suggestions.
