Not to make an example out of you but to make an example out of this post:
To all those who as of late have been asking opinions on entrepreneurship degrees note this student didn't go to his professors for advice on coming up with a business concept but an entrepreneur forum.
That aside this seems pretty niche to me (not always a bad thing but you are talking maybe a couple 100 potential purchasers here - quick search says 1,500 or so Greek orgs and I imagine they are not all too big here but I really don't know maybe there is a market here). From a business perspective I wouldn't personally waste my time on that if this was for a real business from that point alone as the scale will be hard unless they are just begging for this software and there is no solution today.
Have you interviewed anyone who currently manages these things? Even if your software was great if they don't absolutely hurt right now from their current solutions to these problems then they most likely wouldn't buy it.
Update: Found Top 10 Sorority and Fraternity Management Software so perhaps I was too quick and there is a market - I was just guessing you'd of already done a search on it. So the question becomes what will you offer these don't?
