Premise edit
18-year-old Katie Parker (Lucy Hale) and her best friend Sara Snow (Phoebe Strole) are planning to rush into the Delta sorority, which was founded 27 years ago by Katie's mother Lutie (Courtney Thorne-Smith) and Summer (Faith Ford), whose own daughter Gwen (Amanda Schull) is currently in charge of the Deltas on campus. However, when Katie overhears something troubling, it drives a wedge between her and every house on Sorority Row as she is now an outcast. To counter all the hate, she joins the rival house Kappas, but this just sparks a full-scale battle.

Reception edit
Reviews of the film were positive. Linda Stasi of the New York Post gave the movie a rating of 3.5 stars out of 4. She described it as "bizarrely entertaining in a mindless, I-need-to-veg-this-weekend kind of way." She praised lead actress Lucy Hale as "quite a talent".[2] Writing for Variety, Brian Lowry had a similar opinion of the movie, calling it "moderately engaging" and "cheerfully mindless". He said that Hale was "very appealing".[1]
