Plot

The time-honored "men in drag" concept gets a teen sex comedy makeover with this farce from director Wallace Wolodarsky. Dave (Barry Watson), Adam (Michael Rosenbaum), and Doofer (Harland Williams) are a trio of broke playboy misogynists who are accused of embezzlement by their frat brothers and kicked out. The friends quickly find themselves with only one option if they wish to remain on campus rent-free and nab the real culprits: the sorority known as Delta Omicron Gamma (D.O.G.), an institution widely known for its members' deficiency of physical beauty. After undergoing radical transformations thanks to wigs, makeup, and some serious depilatory efforts, the boys are soon passing themselves off as Daisy, Adena, and Roberta. It's not long before their past mistreatment of women has come back to haunt them, while Dave falls in love with Leah (Melissa Sagemiller), the head of the sorority, forcing him to consider when and where to confess the truth. In the meantime, the boys draw closer to learning the identity of the real thieves. Sorority Boys (2002) co-stars Heather Matarazzo. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Plot

Three friends (Doofer, Dave, and Adam) who are head Social Committee in a frat house called, KOK (Kappa Omicron Kappa), are charged with stealing the money their fraternity house have been saving for a cocktail cruise at the end of the semester, the one that guarantees them a spot at a very high paying company no matter how low their IQ is. Ultimately, they've been tabooed out of the fraternity house. On the night The KOK fraternity house decide to throw an "all trim" party, Doofer, Adam, and Dave decide to dress up as girls to get into the party unnoticed by their former fraternity brothers. Their plan was to get in and find the porn tape that revealed the true thief of their cocktail cruise fund, but were unsuccessful in doing so. They were caught and administered the "DOG catcher" and dumped in front of The DOG (Delta Omicron Gamma) sorority house, who befriends the three former KOK brothers. They pledge to The DOG sorority house while they brew up a plan to find a way to get the tape since they have no money and no place to sleep now. They later learn the high price living with these girls and hiding their true identity; the sleeze bag frat boys with an infamous history of mistreating women.
