Synopsis/Details
As JD's father tells him, repeatedly, the only reason he is at college is for his education. After JD meets his more worldly roommate Ivan, the two embark on a journey to find the fabled college experience promised in films like "Animal House". During their first venture, they come across the Chi Delts, and the ruler of the house, Rachel. Rachel, along with the Chi Delts and other affiliated women, attempts to talk the guys into joining...what seems like a cult. After a near-violent end, they leave unscathed physically, but unsure of their next steps. Then, the next day, they encounter a brother from a much different "House". They give it another "college try", and at the Beta Alpha, they meet a crew of misfits, a death-defying piece of paraphernalia, and a choice that will define the next four years (or more) of their life.
