You know, I never realized "A League of Our Own" is a depiction of the way sororities should be! There's gotta be at least one movie out there (even if it's a small, independently-made film) which portrays sororities in a positive light. The movies that come to my imagination (the aforementioned bad pledge movie, "Animal House", "School Daze", etc.) all portray Greeks as hard drinkers, hazers, elitists, etc.
One movie does come to mind, though--it's not really about a sorority so much as it is about the college climate in Alabama during the 1950's--"Heart of Dixie", with Ally Sheedy. She's a sorority member who works against segregation, and how her activism gets her in trouble with her sorority and school. I think it's based on some woman's life story, but maybe not--it could just be based on actual events that happened to more than one person.
Even though I'm not a film major, I may have to change my major so I can make a decent sorority film!
