A comedy, set in any-college U.S.A., centering on Jake, an embittered ex-high school 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 several of the frat brothers step up their attempts to force Gil into quitting the house, Jake enlists the aid of his fellow pledges into seeing the big-hearted Gil through to the end. Through keg parties, sorority swapping, and other creative pledge activities, Jake quickly learns that no man is an island, and that the friends we make in college are friends for life.
