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.
