Where did you get that?

Evidently, the same place you got that.

But why do you have to wear it today?

Because I look good in it today.

Well, why don't you look good in it tomorrow?

What's your problem? Now, we've dressed alike before.

The problem is it's getting old, and so am I.

Can't walk around dressed like my mama.

So what are we going to do?

I guess you better go change.

Why me?

You're right, baby.

Let's both go change.

Cool.

Dang, Mama!

Oh,

hey, Stevie.

Hey. So you checking out the sorority too?

Yeah, I'm just curious. I don't really think that much of the Greeks.

That's what you say when you don't get in. I know.

That's my point. They systematically exclude people and perpetuate

elitism. Doesn't that bother you?

It might if I knew what you were talking about.

Is that my mama over there?

Well, it certainly isn't mine.

Mama. Hey, baby. Hey, Stevie.

Mama, what are you doing here? You didn't say anything about joining a

Neither did you.

That's different. I'm a... college student. Of course I'm going to be

about a sorority.

Well, I'm a college student, too.

But you're an old college student.

But I can still whip your butt like a young college student.

But why do you want to join a sorority? Look, I'm not trying to crowd you, but

this is my second chance, and I want to make the most of it.

Now, which sorority do you want Mama to join?

Oh, I want to join that one.

That's a fraternity. They're only interested in men.

Good. So am I.

was just a front.

No, Miss Parker, this is my fraternity.

My,

my, my.

Tell me more.

Well, T and I are frat brothers.

I'm the chapter advisor.

And I'm sergeant at arms.

You should be sergeant at arms, legs, booty.

You know, if you're thinking of joining a sorority, why don't you check out the

triple A's, our sister sorority.

Sister?

Where's the girlfriend sorority?

Just point me to the white sorority.

Um, that would be the triple A's.

Right over there.

Hello, I'm Regina Foster.

Wait a minute, are you two already pledging? Yeah, we pledged to never

alike ever, ever again.

So if we join, do we get free towing?

Anyway, we're one of the oldest black sororities in the country. You'll find

members excel in leadership and academics.

Academics? Uh, let's try another table.

There's a water fountain in the hallway, sweetie.

It's Stevie.

There are three people standing here. How come you're only talking to two of

them? You?

You're interested in this sorority?

Well, she does have good hair.

Don't you think you might be more comfortable in one of the other

No, no, I'm quite comfortable with A's. I get them all the time.

I was having a conversation with myself.

But since you seem to have such a keen interest in the professor, I have a

little assignment for you and the rest of the grapevine.

I want you all to bring me a picture of Professor Ogilvie in his drawer.

I have the IQ of a grape.

This hairdo I don't understand for ten hours.

Please don't let it be in vain.

Mama, remember I told you the pledge beard is mad crazy?

And I know you're mad.

It's time to get crazy.

Ogilvie, I had a wonderful time. Good, good. Discussion was stimulating.

I'd love to continue it. Maybe I could call you.
