I was just thinking that NPC needs to get together and publish something that can be their "official word" about sororities and what they are all about and could include people's memoirs because obviously people are curious (or we woudln't have pledged or sorority life) and they (obviously, and smartly) can't just let any media source write or video tape chapters.. but if they did something themselves it would be exactly what they wanted it to say and be and t would hopefully balance out everything has been going around.

Fabulous idea. The PR arm of NPC should create marketing materials for high schools and teen clubs, and also work to get editorial published in teen mags. These materials could also be provided to student life offices at colleges and universities.

I was thinking of trying to write a young adult book series about a fake sorority, kind of like Sweet Valley High or something like that. Don't know if the kids would read it though, Harry Potter it would not be.

Isn't there a Young Adult series about girls who attend a private school in Manhattan? I've heard that it's been dubbed "Sex and the City" for the tween crowd (well, not nearly as explicit, of course).

That IS a good idea!!

why don't we all collaborate on a book about sorority life? How about everyone tells a true story about something that happened to them during their collegiate years of sorority life, it dosen't necessairly have to be positive in fact a good mix of stories would paint a more realistic picture. I'm sure we have enough collective knowledge on here to get it published. I think a book that is honest is long overdue.

There is a book out called "Inspiration for Greeks" by Anthony J. D'Angelo, et.al and it's really good!!! I bought a copy for my <> sister last fall and she loved it

The short stories range from Bid Day experiences, to going through a rough spot in life and having brothers/sisters be there for you, and pretty much everything in between. It really is a great read

I also have a copy, and co-sign all of this!

I think at one time they were also working on a Chicken Soup for the Greek soul (or something like that) because I remember getting a call for stories while I was still in school. I don't know if it ever got published, though.

[MooseGirl]

Can anyone tell me where to get that, "Inspiration for Greeks"?

I checked Chapters/Indigo online and also Barnes & Noble but none of them had it...


ETA: nevermind - I forgot to check Amazon I just don't like using them! (it's only available on the U.S. site)

Moosegirl - I believe you can also order it direct from the publisher (http://www.collegiate-empowerment.com/store.html)
