Define "small". Say, she finds her GLO early on (i.e. not much "sorority shopping") and starts hanging out with them as the alumnae association invites her to events. It would be about 20-25% of the plot.

Why is this woman pursuing AI? As a character I'd have the same questions I'd have about a real woman doing this, esp one with no prior connection.

So you're questioning *MY REASON* for AIing then?

As for why this woman is AIing, well, that'll give away the ending.

I can't really say anymore about the storyline as the book has not officially been announced yet.

Just because something actually happened doesn't mean it makes for compelling or believable narrative.

By "done" do you mean written? Represented by an agent? Sold to a publisher?

It all depends what hte obok is like...but at the same time, I'd be afraid that it might make more people look into AI for the wrong reasosn.

What reader out there would care? What nongreek would care? Why would this even be interesting?

I know and understand the AI process and I think it's boring. I can't see how a non greek or a greek who doesn't understand the AI process would care or not be bored.

You took the words right out of my mouth. Sounds like a really boring book. No publisher is going to bite with that type of story line. Where's the hook?

Besides, there's already a book called AI. It's by Issac Asimov.
