Perhaps you should look at a different campus. One campus isn't universal of every campus.
I agree with you, but it does seem like whenever a sorority/fraternity member does something foolish or irresponsible, it does garner greater media coverage something.

Since the OP is looking for a plot that more closely resembles the former example rather than the latter, I'm not sure why he needs any further information regarding Greeks.
Well, "Sorority Row" (and even "I Know What You Did Last Summer") was more of a horror movie, although I did not think it was very well done (I have the same complaints about a lot of modern horror movies: too much of a gore and sex fest). My idea is more of a mystery, not a horror story.

Couldn't this same idea apply to anything, though? Example: There are a great number of professional athletes who donate their time and money to charitable foundations. But when do things like that appear on the 5 o'clock news? They don't. The only stories that are shown are the ones about steroids, domestic violence and DUIs.

I don't think it's impossible to write a positive story about Greek life and to have people interested in reading/watching it. But that's not what you're doing here. And I'm not saying that you have to change your story completely. If you want to run with it, it's fine, but again, there's no need for anything Greek to be involved.

And to be honest, your comments make me think that you actually believe all of the stereotypes surrounding Greeks.

The priest could have a sex change and then AI into the sorority. That way he could investigate undercover from the inside, just like Alexandra Robbins! That plot would be made of awesome.

PS. By talking about the "greek scandals" at your school and the election, you've pretty much told the world here who you are. Not very smart.
