Sinister Sorority

Everything looks so good.

Yeah. Hey, hey, there's not gonna be any left.

I'm hungry, okay.

And didn't we just do this?

That was a year ago, remember, when you recruited me.

Mm, you're right.

God, that was such a mistake.

Does this look right? Is this everything?

God, I hope so.

I'm already exhausted, and we haven't even started yet.

I still think we need to spike the lemonade.

Whoever goes for seconds has my vote.

Okay, who is the big sister, again?

What? I'm a big kid at heart.

Sisters, can I have your attention?

Ahem, listen up!

Today, somewhere within the group of those young,

potential new members, we will meet our newest

beta delta chi sisters!

And I want you all to remember that you

were once where they are.

Searching.

Feeling lost.

Before you found your?

Sisters for life!

Ladies, here we go!

Bd chi, bd chi, bd chi.

Say cheese.

So what makes you want to be a beta delta chi sister?

College is so new to me.

I come from a really small town.

So I think making some roots would really help me adjust.

So, what's your major?

First I was elementary ed, and then I realized, ew, kids.

So I switched to premed.

I'll be honest.

I'm only at college for my mrs degree.

I'm cori, with an I.

You should know upfront that this is

the only house I'm pledging.

Why is that, cori with an I?

My mom and sister are both beta delta chi,

and I'm gonna keep the tradition going.

See?

You're a legacy candidate, that's great.

Make sure you Mark that down.

And then I thought maybe business would be a better path.

Honestly, I figured it'd be a good place to party,

go to some ragers, you know.

I knew I liked you.

Yeah, thank you so much.

We're gonna call you.

Y'all seem so nice, not like some of the other houses.

This house smells so good.

- Oh thanks. - Is that anise?

I have this nose thing.

And now I think I might try musical theater.

I'm just gonna put undecided.

Very.

I need a break.

Good idea.

I'm gonna go refill the pretzel bowl.

Do you need anything?

Hi, are you here to rush?

I am.

I was just admiring the beta delta chi history.

Such tradition here.

Yeah, we work hard to maintain it.

It's so inspiring, the sisterhood of it all.

I can't wait to be a part of it.

I'm Jana.

Oh, right, sorry.

Guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

I'm Bailee.

Why don't we start your interview.

Oh, so it says you transferred in.

I did.

My last school just never really felt like home, you know?

I do. I was a transfer myself.

Really? How funny.

That's why your motto is so inspiring to me.

Sisters for life.

I think finding those few people you can rely on

in your life no matter what is so important.

Oh, Ari, this is Bailee.

Arielle was assigned as my big sister

when I got accepted, and we've been like,

well, sisters, ever since.

Can I ask, how are big sisters assigned?

Someone volunteers, and then the sorority votes.

So you could be my big?

It's possible, yeah.

Have you checked out any of the other houses yet?

A few, yeah, but I'm sort of set on yours.

Can I ask what made you wanna join?

I was looking for a family.

Some place I could call home.

Somewhere I felt like I belonged.

I couldn't agree more.

There's nothing more important than family.

So, we're definitely gonna be

getting back to you, Bailee.

It was so nice to meet you.

Oh, wait.

Your file.

One, two.

Great.

She seemed nice.

Was that her interview or yours?

Just saying.

That's a pass on undecided.

So I think we all agreed on Samantha, yes?

Good.

Which leaves space for one more.

I thought Bailey was sweet.

I think she'll be a good addition.

Really?

Yeah, she reminded me of me when I first came here.

What, a lost lamb?

I think she's searching for something.

And maybe we're it.

Well that's great. You can friend her on social.

Cori, however, is a legacy.

Her mom and her sister were both beta delta chis.

All in favor?

I hate this. There's always next time.

How they looking today?

Still alive and kicking.

Jana, I've been looking over your lab reports.

Okay, is there a problem?

Actually, no, quite the opposite.

I'm very impressed with your work.

There's a position open on the research team,

and I need to find a replacement.

I'd like you to consider it.

Really?

But, before you say yes, I need you to know

that it is quite a bit of work.

We're conducting studies with six other universities,

so I need someone who will be on top of every detail.

Yes, of course.

I mean, the pay is lousy, but it will look great

on your grad school application.

It's paid, too?

Yes, absolutely.

I need you to understand what a huge deal this is.

Our entire Grant is relying on it.

I hope that won't cause any problems

with your sorority obligations.

Oh no, not at all.

I've got this, I promise.

Good, I'll arrange for you to get

a keycard and serve access.

Why you don't start familiar- izing yourself with the study,

and we'll talk tomorrow after class?

Thank you, Dr. Leeman, thank you so much.

Don't disappoint me, Jana.

That's a lotta binders.

Yeah, but it's a huge opportunity for me.

And it'll have big sway with master's programs.

That's terrific, baby.

You deserve it. You've worked really hard.

But it is gonna mean even less time together.

Only until the Grant gets submitted.

But now for the hard part.

All of this lab data.

Oh, what did I get myself into?

Ugh, god, that feels good.

Magic hands, like I said.

I think you just found the name for your pt offices.

That would probably get me arrested.

That's all right, I'll bail you out.

I certainly hope so.

Well, only for a lifetime of free massages.

-We're negotiating my bail? -Mm-hm.

Maybe I'll take my chances in jail.

Mm-hm.

Jana.

Bailee.

I was hoping I'd run into you.

Any idea when the sorority might make their decision?

About that, um,

the sorority made their selections.

I'm sorry.

But I thought we connected.

We did, and I want you to know

that I thought you were great.

-I pushed really hard for-- -did you?

Yes, but there were only a few openings

and we had a legacy candidate.

Oh, so I was better qualified but didn't get in

because of the pan-hellenic bureaucracy?

That makes me feel much better.

I'm sorry, really.

But there are rules we have to follow.

Please, I hope you'll try again in the spring.

I know there are at least three sisters graduating.

I have three other houses asking,

so I don't think I'll be needing to.

That's great.
