COLLEGE freshman Sydney White (Bynes) has just arrived at Southern Atlantic University ready and eager to pledge her late mother’s sorority.

Once upon a time, this sorority was dignified and respected, but that pristine reputation has been tarnished now that blonde tyrant Rachel (Sara Paxton) has taken over as student council president. After surviving the sorority’s vigorous pledging process, Syd is quickly banished for daring to question Rachel’s regime.

Now left with nowhere to go but a condemned house on the edge of Greek Row, the dejected and rejected pledge quickly makes friends with seven of the biggest social outcasts on campus. But while these socially challenged frat boys may not be much to look at, it gradually becomes apparent to Syd that they all have their fair share of admirable qualities -- especially love-struck super-geek Tyler (Matt Long).

Perhaps if these nerdy frat boys and their new queen could successfully shake up the system by staging a successful takeover of the student government, they could restore the once-proud reputation of this prestigious university.PG: 13,Run: 1 hr. 48 min.Genre: ComedyDirected By: Joe NussbaumWritten By: Chad Gomez Creasey
