Legend of the Chapter House recruiting writers for new book on Greek Life

ARLINGTON, VA (PRWEB) September 22 2003-- A new book, Legend of the Chapter House: Greek Life, Love, & Laughter Told through Our Eyes, has begun a nationwide search to find the best stories highlighting life in fraternities and sororities.

There are over 9 million members of the Greek system all around the world," says Eric Koester, who came up with the idea for Legend. There are some incredible stories in that group just waiting to be told."

Legend of the Chapter House is engaged in a nationwide search for true stories told through the eyes of the author or authors. Writers can submit story ideas at legendofbooks.com or discuss ideas personally with Koester. Upon publication, writers will be paid for published stories. Deadline for submission is April 30, 2004.

Im doing this project entirely on my own and really hoping it can be something I can give back to the Greek community," Koester said. Being in my fraternity was great and now that Ive graduated, I appreciate it even more. I hope people will be able to point to this book and be proud to wear letters on their chests."

Koester, a former founding father of his fraternity at Marquette University, decided to provide a forum to highlight the positive side of Greek life. Presently, he is enrolled in law school at George Washington University. Koester has begun collecting stories and hopes to release the anthology in the fall of 2004.

There is no shortage of negative media scrutiny of Greek life," Koester notes. But that is not the complete story. Greeks are the largest volunteer network in the world, serve in many leadership positions, and foster a unique sense of community. I think it is time for a book to come along and show what is positive, is fun, and is right about being in a sorority or fraternity. Legend of the Chapter House is designed to be a quick, entertaining read with a purpose: The uncensored stories of risk, romance and humor will unhinge the memories of other Greek members who want to relive their own collegiate adventures."
