Scriptwriter looking for help

[angels&angles]

At my school (small, private, liberal arts, Greek-dominated) pledging was a little less than a semester (10 weeks maybe?) but there was only one pledge class per year. MAYBE one or two fraternities might take one or two guys before or after rush (we had rush second semester), but it wasn't common. I have heard some state schools have both a fall (formal, large) rush and a spring (smaller, informal) rush, and that the spring pledges are looked down on a little, but this is all hearsay. This is something that could easily vary from school to school (and the flipside, no matter which way you write it, a bunch of Greeks will watch it and say, "Pfft, that's not how it works! These guys clearly did no research!")

Thanks very much for this. The more I read here, the more I realize that there is no one right way to do any of this. And no one right name to call anything.

I'm even thinking of trying to work that in the dialogue. "That's not how we did it at University X!" "But you're not at University X now, and this is how we do it here."

I hate getting accused of not doing my research. Sometimes it seems like I do nothing but research.
