Plot

Two girls, Christine and Reagan, find themselves paired as college roommates. Christine, a diligent student, mourns the recent loss of her parents in an automobile accident. Reagan wants to enjoy all that college has to offer. For her, college equals sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Reagan convinces Christine to come to a Beta Alpha Tau sorority party and they both find it fun and provocative. When Christine's professor finds out that she might get accepted into the popular sorority, she urges Christine to join. The professor thinks that the sorority is a sinister force, taking souls and ruining the lives of students. If Christine can infiltrate their ranks, she might find the truth behind the sorority's power. When she gets a bid from the beautiful and powerful president of the sorority, Devin, she accepts and is introduced into a sensuous and intoxicating lifestyle.

Christine finds herself with newfound powers and delves into new pleasures. When the final initiation ceremony arrives, the stage is set for her entry into the world of darkness. The outcome is far from clear.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Sorority recruitment</span> Processes for joining a sorority

Sorority recruitment or rush is a process in which university undergraduate women join a sorority. It is a procedure that includes a number of themed rounds in which different events are included. The rounds are followed by preference night and finally bid day in which a college student receives an invitation to join a certain sorority. The recruitment process is different at all universities and different universities have different sororities, meaning not all schools have the same chapters. Students are continually joining sororities more on college campuses as membership has gone up nationwide, growing more than 15 percent from 2008 to 2011, to 285,543 undergraduates, according to the National Panhellenic Conference, which represents 26 nationally recognized sororities. The National Panhellenic Conference also has the task of regulating sorority recruitment. The sorority houses follow specific rules to avoid infractions like staying silent before the doors are opened to the house. The week before and during recruitment, girls are not allowed to wear their letters out of their sorority houses to avoid influencing a potential new member (PNM).

Fraternities and sororities, also referred to as Greek-letter organizations (GLOs) or, collectively, as "Greek life" in North America and the Philippines, are social organizations at colleges and universities. A form of the social fraternity, they are prominent in Canada, the United States, Europe and the Philippines. Similar organizations exist in other countries, including the Studentenverbindungen of former and current German-speaking countries, braterstwa in Poland, and the goliardie in Italy.
