Plot

A shy freshman doesn't take long to warm up to fraternity life in this college comedy following in the tradition of Animal House and PCU. Reserved college freshman Jake Taylor (Dylan Bruno) isn't big on fraternities, but when the hardest-partying frat on campus refuses to admit his socially awkward cousin Gil (Dublin James) unless Jake pledges with him, the two are soon on their way to the wild life. When all-night benders and naked scavenger hunts begin to take their toll on Jake's grades and his fraternity-hating girlfriend, Paige (Laura Harris), begins to become suspicious of his decidedly frat-like behavior, the newly converted Greek must enlist the aid of his brothers to ensure that his scholarship isn't revoked and his girl doesn't leave him in the dust. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Plot

Set in any-college U.S.A., centering on Jake, an embittered ex-high school American football star who is coerced into pledging the "coolest" fraternity on campus. Jake does so in order to protect Gil, his somewhat nerdy, but Greek-obsessed cousin. As the semester progresses, Jake struggles to maintain his grades as well as his affair with Paige, a beautiful sophomore who hates all fraternities. Through naked scavenger hunts, sorority ass-signings, all-night beer fests, keg parties, sorority swapping, and other creative pledge activities, Jake discovers that he's actually beginning to enjoy himself. But when some of the frat brothers step up their attempts to force Gil into quitting the house, both his scholarship and his relationship with Paige are threatened. Jake must swallow his pride and turn to his fellow pledges for help into seeing the big-hearted Gil through to the end, or risk losing everything. Jake quickly learns that no man is an island, and that the friends we make in college are friends for life.

Filming Locations

Most of the college campus scenes were filmed at the University of California, Riverside in Riverside, CA.[citation needed]
