I will not say much until everything is officially announced.

C, I really hate to say this, but I wish you thought of that before starting this thread.

Pledged came out - how many years ago? - and I JUST read it this summer. I was able to get a used copy; I wouldn't want the author to earn any money from me.
It was one of the worst books I ever read. Not just because of the sorority stuff in it, but those most of those stories were SO SILLY and sound so fabricated.
So...no, I would not be interested in a book about AI.

I seriously hope you consider a revision or three before you submit to a publisher. I can see AI as a possible subplot, but not your main plot. And to call your plot "chicklit silliness" demeans the genre. Sure, it can be a light, frothy comedy or heavy drama, but I used to think the same thing about romance novels before I started writing them...and realized how much WORK it is to write one.
That said, I wish you well with your submission.

It's not really the main plot nor is it a subplot. When the editors went through it for the first time, they thought that it was a fictional account at women's history in education/society. It's not like the narrator spends every minute of every chapter going "oh my gosh, I'm meeting with the alumnae president to do fill-in-the-blank!" She has stuff to deal, like parents (she lives at home), friends, men, classmates/homework (she's a grad student). How *MUCH* of it is focused on sororities, well, it's up to you to decide.
