Nice girl Liz (Jeanne Crain, forgotten today but a big star at the time) pledges her legacy chapter, the nasty but top-tier Tri-U's. The fashion-conscious rush chair looks down on her for wearing the same outfit more than once because her suitcase got lost on the train, but she still gets a bid. Sadly, her best friend gets cut and leaves school. Another legacy, a homely, socially awkward nerd, gets blackballed. Worst of all, poor Liz is pressured into dating the biggest frat douchebag on campus instead of the GDI she really likes!

Natalie Schafer (Lovey Howell from Gilligan's Island) plays alumna house mom Mother Cookie, who's an even bigger snob than the actives.

This is a great movie. I really enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!
