OMG, do you mean rising action, a climax, everything?
OP: Why do you want to write a book about something you don't know about? Surely there are things you have more experience with that would make compelling literature.
All others: The Hazing Meri Sugarman series is a great example of an author writing about something she does not know. The main character gets into the most popular house on campus because she is a legacy and is brutally hazed. You can't know how many high schoolers have asked me about whether particular scenes from these novels really happened to me or other Greeks. At least with Epsilon Zeta, Jock Young really is Greek and knows what he's writing about... even if some of it seems crazy, you know there has to be some truth in it.
