Jacket. Or no jacket.

Aren't you a shoo -in for your mom's sorority?

No jacket.

Being legacy doesn't guarantee you a spot.

They have to like me.

They will.

It shouldn't be because of your outerwear choice.

Cute, but incredibly naive.

Would you wear jeans and a t -shirt to a job interview?

Yeah.

Remind me again why you even want to join a sorority. I mean, what's wrong

being an individual?

It's all about connections.

Now, is my inquisition complete?

Good. And wish me luck.

Are you planning the rush to exile Zeta?

It's my mother's sorority.

And it's a good one, but it's not the only one.

Dakota Weston, president Pi Gamma Pi.

Liberty Van Zandt, valedictorian, school president, and national merit scholar,

which makes you Pi Gamma Pi material.

How do you know that? The dean is Pi Gamma Pi. She keeps an eye open for

potential recruits.

We only accept the cream.

It's your choice. A safe bet.

Or compete for a spot to join the best.

I really hope I see you at the house tomorrow.

The best that I can be.

Whatever it takes.

I know I can make it. I can make it. I can make it through.

Whatever it takes.

I know I can make it through.

Welcome to your first pledge event, ladies. In this room stand the leaders

tomorrow. We count both MPs and Nobel Prize winners as alumni.

But first, pledging is like dating. It gives us a chance to see if the

relationship will work before we commit.

You can break up with us, too.

And give up crazy connections and friends for life?

My feelings, exactly.

It'll be hard to leave this place next year for Harvard Law.

Harvard Law?

A Pi Gamma Pi runs admissions.

Get invited to join us, and those connections are guaranteed.

But first...

You must prove you belong.

Now, let's go meet some alumni.

Holly J., you can't just declare yourself student council president.

I didn't. The chef did. But it's undemocratic.

Oh, my God, you're right. And yet, strangely, unbothered. If you don't go

Che on me, I might make you secretary.

Now, scoop. I have a power squad to bring to line.

Can somebody please tell me what's more important than city finals?

Anya finally swiped her V -card.

Says who? Everyone. And it explains why she isn't at practice. She and Sav are

probably doing it right now.

Anya said she was sick.

Probably just bedridden.

And now that Anya's done the deed, the Power Squad might finally be virgin

Not a chance.

Unless you're one.

I'm captain of the Power Squad.

Okay, gossip's not going to get us anywhere.

Toe touches, people.

How's Rush?

Specifically, have you found me a key sorority girl?

No, but I did meet two MPs and a Supreme Court judge.

All alumni.

Imagine me in the Supreme Court.

Don't get too excited. I hear Pi Gamma Pi is very selective.

You don't think what it takes?

Hey, girl.

Come on. Pi Gamma Pi sits at the front.

Wait, you're ditching us? For them?

Just until I make the cut.

Liberty, this is Julie. Thought you two would have a lot in common.

Are you a three -sport athlete from the West Coast?

Star athlete, star scholar.

You two make me feel like a major slacker.

Okay, everyone, grab a seat on the floor.

Come on.

So today's plan is to get more familiar with each other by sharing the toughest

time of your life.

Becca, you're up first.

Okay.

It was grade nine.

He seemed like a really nice guy until he gave me a mullet.

Never went to that hairdresser again.

I've lived a pretty charmed life.

Well, we can't hold that against you.

Okay, Liberty, your turn.

The toughest time in my life would be when I had to give my baby up for

adoption.

Oh, my God.

Was the father supportive?

He died.

He was stabbed.

I'm so sorry.

In a gang fight?

Not exactly.

It's amazing.

You grew up like that and ended up here.

You didn't have the privileges we did, but you overcame the odds.

It would be great to have someone with your perspective in Pi Gamma Pi.

We would be really lucky to have you.

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.

Old times fill us lying.

And this same flower smiles today.

Tomorrow will be dying.

Blue. What is Robert Herrick saying in this phone?

Too many flowers.

Not enough time.

According to the anti -grapevine, he's had many flowers that have all been very

happy afterwards.

Sean J., something you'd like to share with the crowd?

No, Miss Wong.

That's what I thought.

If you have something to say, why don't you illuminate us with your

interpretation of the poem?

Saved by the bell, we'll resume our discussion next month.

Wait up.

Why? So you can hang a scarlet bee on my chest?

Being a virgin is nothing to be ashamed of.

Well, try being the only one on the power squad.

Losing your virginity isn't like getting your wisdom teeth taken out. It comes

with complications.

Well, unlike you, I've heard of a condom.

Which won't protect you from getting hurt.

Trust me.

Thanks for the advice, Juno.

Hey, girl.

I was wondering if you could help us out with some hip -hop moves for tonight's

lip sync.

Liberty teach you to dance?

I can try.

See you later?

Yeah.

You think you can teach me to crunk down loafers?

Still, they're making some assumptions.

It's not a big deal. What kind of assumptions?

They think I'm from an underprivileged background.

You, Miss Daughter of Two Lawyers with a swimming pool in the backyard?

Maybe they're just excited to have someone who's a little different.

Well, they should be excited to have a liberty.

Okay, this semester, we'll be exploring landscapes with the most exquisite hills

and valleys, the human body.

Naked? In your watercolor dreams. Unfortunately, no. The Board of

bunch of prudes. Okay, partner up, everybody. Come see me if you have any

questions.

Partners? Not this time.

Do you want to be partners here after school tomorrow?

Student president has the key.

Then who's going to stop you from taking advantage of me?

See you tomorrow, Miss Holiday.

I've never thought the leaders of tomorrow partied this hard. Worked on

Street last summer. The interns who partied until 3 a .m. with the partners

the ones that got the jobs.

Liberty, are you in? We're doing body shots.

I'm going to spit this one out.

Liberty?

Some of the sisters worry you won't fit in. I know they're wrong, but you have

to prove you excel at all aspects of sorority life, including this one.

All right, so we just need some volunteers for the first competition.

Any takers?

I'm in.

All right, so Liberty's in for Gamma Gamma. Anyone else?

Gamma Gamma? Yeah, get ready to shed some clothes.

It's for the main bedroom.

What you do in there is up to you.

Shall we?

Really nice comforter.

Must be like three, four hundred thread count.

And the color.

It's, uh... I'm not gonna hook up with someone I just met.

Yeah, I have a girlfriend.

Back home.

So, should we just go back downstairs?

But she knows how important the frat is.

And she understands that sometimes I do things.

Like make out with other girls.

Or pretend to.

Pass me your panties.

Once you go black, you never go back.

So, how is he?

I don't give a cow.

Yeah, but do you dance?

Yeah, only with that.

Well, I'll shake some booty.

Looking good for a spot in High Gamma High.

or make me look stupid.

You care a lot about what people think.

Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.

Have you slept with many girls?

It's just, that's what people say.

Well, that's between me and the girls I have or have not slept with.

Well, many artists like to be intimate with their models first.

So, we need to make out for art?

If you're not interested.

I'm interested.

You don't waste any time.

I've got a condom.

I'm not going to have sex with you.

Wait, I mean...

Liberty, this seat has your name on it. And so do these.

Tell me that guy didn't just hand you your panties in Humanities 101.

He didn't hook up.

He just pretended to.

A mating ritual I'm not entirely familiar with.

Do tell more.

Yeah, like why you do that? To impress her new friends. Do they still think

you're ghetto -licious?

Yo, sister.

Just come to the pie game of pie mixer tonight.

You'll see Greek life isn't as evil as you think.

Okay. But I'm not giving my panties to anyone.

Hey, so which one

of you two is going to be the one? What do you think?

What? What?

Who knows? He's drunk as a skunk.

We are so close to getting chosen.

Life is going to get better from here.

We should do something to celebrate. We could go streaking.

I want to go streaking to campus!

We decided to check out sorority life.

And you're just in time because we're going to go straight through campus.

The only place you should be going right now is home to bed.

Who invited the children?

Let's go, Liberty.

I see one more yard.

And that's the new chair.

Nice cover, but we all know what you were doing when you missed school.

Day quill and days of our lives?

Fab.

But you mean you guys didn't have sex?

We're waiting.

I haven't even met his parents yet.

Um, can we talk?

I'm going to check no in that box.

Okay, let's go practice the new cheer.

Don't tell me you slept with him.

Don't worry.

I threw myself at him and he just turned away.

Tell anyone.

And you'll destroy me.

I know.

Um, I'm looking for Holly J.

Okay, you don't need to talk to me, but we do need to finish our project.

All right, though, art room after school.

Well, Thomas does why he didn't show.

The nurse said it'll be hard to speak for a while.

Getting your stomach pumped does that.

How did I get here?

Your friends dropped you off.

The sorority knows I'm here?

Do they care?

Not enough to stay.

It's not their fault.

Wow, you really want that. I do.

And you don't understand.

The throaty has a reputation to maintain.

Hello, you just got your stomach pumped.

Besides, it's too late for that.

And?

I'm out.

The longer I stay here, the longer I can still be a Pi Gamma Pi.

Good luck.

We're really disappointed in you two.

And we expect better in the future.

We can't have negative press about Pi Gamma Pi.

Future? We can stay?

Yes! We want girls like you two.

Smart, beautiful leaders.

What about Julie?

She's all those things. Why kick her out for streaking?

Because we only need one.

One what?

What Shannon means is we're seeking diversity.

And our funding depends upon it.

So that's all I am to you.

A token.

Let's just get this over with.

I like you, Holly J.

And if I have to do this to prove it to you, I will.

Although I prefer to wait until you know how awesome I really am.

Aren't we just here to finish our project?

So, that's a no?

You're rejecting me?

As you wish.

But before we get to business, let me show you this.

I look... Beautiful.

And if we do sleep together someday, it will mean something.

Like you'll ever get another chance?

lattes and one peppermint tea.

Peppermint tea? For who?

Liberty, to soothe her stomach.

We want to show her we're here for her, because whatever we think of sororities,

she really wanted this.

Hey, what happened?

Well, I can applaud them for the idea of seeking out diversity, but I turned

them down.

You were right.

They had a quota.

They didn't want me, just a black chick in the room, to satisfy administration.

I told them that wasn't me.
