You're definitely not understanding what 33girl was saying.

The point is... why do they have to be sorority women? There isn't anything about the story that requires Greeks to be represented. Most movies that portray Greeks are ABOUT Greeks. Or they have parts of the plot that are more focused on Greek life (even if they're stereotypical or innacurate).

You just came up with a story about a girl being drunk and running someone over, and decided to throw some Greek letters on it.
