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, hypochondriac, allergic, Vortex-dwelling Lenny, to date dash. She likes him, but Rachel force her to ditch him and stick him with the check for some thirty people.
