-->'''Rachel:''' We're {{just friends}} and, you know, I don't like him like that. Only a little. You know, occasionally. [[ShirtlessScene When his shirt's off.]]

* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Kappa Phi Nu was a much more pleasant house when the president was Sydney's mother, who died when Sydney was nine years old.

-->'''Rachel:''' ''[talking about Dinky]'' Hi, Sydney. Nice to find some people you fit in with.\\

* SinisterSororitySisters: Sydney initially wants to join Kappa Phi Nu, which her mother was president of. However, she finds that the sorority is now run by RichBitch Rachel Witchburn. Rachel enjoys abusing her power over her fellow sisters and blocks Sydney from joining the sorority for fear that she would outshine her. Rachel is also head of the student council and uses her power to ensure that the Greek organizations get preferential treatment. When her power is threatened, she isn't afraid to use underhanded tactics to get what she wants.

* {{Expy}}: Every main character is a reference to someone from the original fairy tale (or the Disney version, in the case of the dorks).

* BackhandedApology:

Everything blows up when, at the dance, Rachel kicks Sydney out, telling her, "You will never be a Kappa." Homeless and feeling she has failed her mother, she goes out into the rain, sobbing on the street with her bags in front of the Vortex, so named for sucking in losers—a rundown, former student overflow housing on Greek row. Rachel wants the Vortex torn down for her country-club gym for Greeks. Lenny and Spanky, two of the seven dorks, offer her a place to stay.

In the morning, Sydney notices just how run down the place is and suggests some repairs. Grumpy Gurkin, writer of People'sPunisher.com, rants about the control Rachel and the rest of the Greek oppression have on campus, making it impossible to get repairs. Later that day, she spots sign-up sheets for student council, sparking their Freedom to the Seventh Power party, stepping out of her own box, and a showdown debate with Rachel.

* TheTalk: Due to her mother dying before she went through puberty, Sydney was given "The Talk" by her father. His profession as a plumber led to some interesting use of tubing.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Why did Dinky fall in love with Lenny? It’s because she sees him as EndearinglyDorky, and even confessed that she’s [[LampshadeHanging in love with a dork]]. And, because of [[BirdsofaFeather their allergies]].

Sydney is allowed a bid due to the fact her mother was a Kappa, but things do not go well for her. Despite bonding with her fellow potentials, Rachel hates her, she isn't rich, and Tyler has developed quite an interest in her, much to Rachel's disapproval. On the first night of hazing, she brings an inappropriate date to date dash: hypochondriac, allergic, Vortex-dwelling Lenny. She likes him, but Rachel forces her to ditch him and sticks him with the check for some thirty people.

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Why did Dinky fall in love with Kenny? It’s because she sees him as EndearinglyDorky, and even confessed that she’s [[LampshadeHanging in love with a dork]]. And, because of [[BirdsofaFeather their allergies]].

-->'''Rachel:''' We're {{just friends}} and, you know, I don't like him like that. Only a little. You know, occasionally. [[ShirtlessScene When his shirt's off]].

* BirdsofaFeather: Dinky revealing her allergy of gluten like Kenny is what results in her crushing on him. This leads to them being a BetaCouple.

** Sydney is Snow White, the more beautiful girl who threatens Rachel's position in the social hierarchy

** Lenny is Sneezy (he has allergies); Terrence is [[InsufferableGenius Doc]]; Gurkin is Grumpy (angry blogger). Spanky is "Happy" due to the references to "keeping [himself] happy" (by masturbating); Jeremy is Bashful (talks through his puppet due to chronic shyness). Embele is Sleepy (exchange student with jet lag); George is [[CloudCuckooLander Dopey]].

-->'''Sydney:''' If only there was a place for a superficial, materialistic bitch to fit in. Oh, wait, there is.

* BigNO: When Rachel sees Sydney is now number one.

* AlphaBitch: Rachel, president of the Kappa House, who blocks Sydney's induction into Kappa just because she felt threatened by her growing popularity and Tyler's attraction to her.

** Lenny is Sneezy (he has allergies); Terrence is [[InsufferableGenius Doc]]; Gurkin is Grumpy (angry blogger).

Embele is Sleepy (Exchange student with jet lag); George is [[CloudCuckooLander Dopey]]

* AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil: Apparently, popular cliques in the dozens can overpower and control a student body in the ''thousands''. Also, budgets can be abused to allow university-owned property to fall below building codes. And Greek organizations can dominate campus life so much that non-Greeks don't even have their own dorms. While it's certainty greatly exaggerated, it's worth noting that rich and powerful people often come out of these organizations and often pump money into the university through donations. It would make sense to keep the Greeks happy as they have connections to these alumni.

* AllGuysWantSororityWomen: The sorority is portrayed as extremely SeriousBusiness in part because of how popular it makes the girls with guys, emphasized by the online Hot Or Not list.

* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: George. Unable to tie his own shoes, manages to innocently win at poker every time, and still believes in Santa.

* GoodParents: Sydney may be RaisedByDudes but her father cares for her very much.

* IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer: Gurkin threatens to unleash the power of the internet on Tyler if anything happens to Sydney on their first date and register him as a sex offender in all 50 states - and Canada.

* SinisterSororitySisters: The protagonist Sydney initially wants to join her mother's sorority, Kappa Phi Nu. However, she finds that the sorority is run by RichBitch Rachel Witchburn.
