No. You say you want to avoid stereotypes and in the next breath, use them. The story would be no different if it was Jane and Jen, two best friends who live in the dorm. The sorority angle is just an attempt to "sex it up" and play to everyone else's stereotypical thinking about sororities.

Remember, isn't the use of any setting and characters an attempt to try and play up the story? I mean Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" could have taken place on any old train or not even on a train, just some flophouse that got snowed in.
In terms of plots, there is a limited number of unique plots (Polti claimed 36, I think Aristotle claimed there seven or eight basic plots). In terms of a murder mystery, there are only so many reasons why someone is driven to such an extreme act.
Although the antagonist is depicted as being evil, I will try to portray the sorority women as diverse (like any group: some better than others) and I am thinking it will be another sorority woman that helps the Priest (I come up with names when I start writing) bring 'A' to justice.
