Geschichte
At Adams College, the Alpha Beta fraternity, led by jocks, dominates the school. A group of socially-challenged misfits tries to join Greek life but are rejected by every house. In response, they decide to start their own fraternity, 'Tau Omega', to protect their outcast brothers and gain acceptance. The Alpha Betas, however, try to crush this new rivalry by hazing the Tau Omegas and threatening them with expulsion if they don't disband. Led by Lewis, the nerds fight back using their unique skills. They win a series of challenges against the Alpha Betas at the college's annual charity event: a fire-breathing contest, a pie-eating contest, and a game of ‘Bog’, where the Tau Omegas score a winning touchdown with help from some unexpected allies. The nerds also pull off a panty raid on the Alpha Beta house to humiliate them. Eventually, the Alpha Betas are exposed for their hazing tactics, leading to their expulsion from campus and giving the Tau Omegas free reign.
