* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Lisa, Cassie's ex-classmate, encourages her to pledge for Lambda, setting off a chain of events that leads to two murders, an attempted bathtub drowning, and Lisa herself going into a coma.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: At the end we learned that the murders and attempted murders of Lambda sisters were [[spoiler:done by Monica, angry that Simon broke up with her and blaming Cassie for it]].

* EarnYourHappyEnding: Cassie has had to endure sexual assualt and attempted murder to get there, but as the movie ends [[spoiler:she forms a group called Sororities Againt Sexploitation, Lisa and Charlie have survived, her mom is now the sorority house mother, and she's in an OfficialCouple with Charlie]].

* RecycledPremise: Lifetime's ''Film/TheCheerleaderEscort'', which debuted about a year earlier, is also about a NaiveEverygirl named Cassie who joins an elite women's group at a college that she learns is really a secret escort service for rich alumni, with one of the other sugar babies named Monica. The main difference is ''that'' Cassie ends up falling for her (much more charming) sugar daddy. Another big difference is that in ''The Cheerleader Escort'', it's established upfront that the cheerleaders are being prostituted, while here it's not fully established until Cassie's dinner with Simon.

Cassie Thompson (Brytnee Ratledge) loses her scholarship at an elite college before her sophomore year because of budget cuts. When her mother Debra (Elisabetta Fantone) refuses to let her drop out, Cassie finds what seems to be a great backup plan: join the Kappa Eta Lambda sorority, which pays for its members' tuition and housing. She gets mentored by sorority president Monica (Tommi Rose), quickly becomes a favorite of demanding house mother Wendy (Marie Debrey), and is invited to join the elite Soc[[note]]short for Social[[/note]] Committee, who go on lavish trips and wear expensive clothes given to them for free. But as Lambda mourns the death of a former member, Cassie meets Simon (Duncan Bahr) for a supposed "job interview" and learns the awful truth about the sorority: its members are being pimped out to wealthy male alums. Determined to expose Wendy and her ghastly scheme, Cassie realizes her life may be in danger as more Lambda sisters suffer horrible fates.

* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: Debra might be OlderThanSheLooks, but she still looks young enough to get mistaken for Cassie's sister by Wendy. The film drops implications that this is a result of Debra having been a [[TeenPregnancy teenage mother]].
* AlphaBitch: Monica comes across as this at first, as the snooty sorority president who turns down Cassie (complete with Bianca as her BetaBitch), but she eventually starts getting along better with Cassie, but we also learn there's a ''much'' darker side to her story.

* NewhartPhonecall: A PlayedForDrama case, when we hear Monica's tearful, desperate side of a call with someone at the house. [[spoiler:It turns out to have been Simon, dumping her]].

* PingPongNaivete: Lisa at first seems like she's not aware of the sorority's sexplitation issues, but she later confesses that she rebuffed the advances of a potential sugar daddy.
