Thanks for the help. Especially to AlphaFrog for the advice regarding numbers.
I think she means in your (fictional) university what is Greek life like? Is it a huge part of that university's experience? Is it a relatively small Greek system? Part of this is yours as the writer to decide, but take into account your location. If your school is set in New England, it wouldn't make sense to have a hugely Greek school where 50%+ are Greek. If it's SEC, you can't write in a tiny Greek system.

Once you decide the basics about your campus climate, we can help you more accurately fine-tune your rush.

5% is all the colleges EVERYWHERE averaged together - including those that don't have Greeks at all. A school with 5% Greek involvement is going to be pretty boring to write a book about.

The eight fraternities with 400 guys sounds like my alma mater (on a good day) and we had 6000 students.

Like AF said, figure out your campus first, and then it'll be easier for us to help with a plausible Greek system.
