If being a Kappa is important to you,

then this is the price you pay.

Hey, "date."

Hey.

I ordered you

another cup of coffee.

Oh...

I need you to meet me

in the girls' bathroom.

Another pledge ritual.

Oh.

Oh. Oh.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

OK.

I'll meet you there.

(door opens)

Sydney?

(both scream)

Pervert!

Ow!

Looks like you

get stuck with the check.

We live in a country that's considered to be

the ultimate model of government.

By the people,

for the people, and of the people.

But most Americans would be surprised to find

how afraid the Founding Fathers were

of what a direct democracy could do to the country.

Can anyone tell me why?

(snoring)

(snores)

The young man snoring there, perhaps?

(chuckling)

(coughs)

The Founding Fathers were afraid

that direct democracy

would do to America

what it did to Rome.

Alexander Hamilton

even advocated a monarchy. (snores)

Exactly.

We are trained to think

the more power the people have, the better.

Can any of you tell me

some reasons why this isn't necessarily true?

Ah, Terrence.

Still here after eight years.

What do you say we give someone else

a chance to respond this time, huh?

Um... Ms. Witchburn?

Most Americans

don't educate themselves about the issues.

There are some valid arguments

for keeping things a little bit more... elite.

You could even argue a case

for certain types of oligarchy.

Interesting.

Let's hear from someone else.

How about... you?

Ms...?

White.

Ms. White.

Any thoughts?

Um...

I guess I think that's...

underestimating the masses a bit.

Not to mention

overestimating the elites.

Apartheid was an oligarchy,

and no one wants that again.

Excellent.

Alicia, what year

was Kappa Phi Nu founded?

Very good.

Mm!

Want some breakfast?

Yeah.

Help yourself.

Breakfast is good.

(Rachel) Ugh!

It's called moisturizer.

Try some.

Next.

Ugh.

Your pores are enormous.

They have a thing

called whitening toothpaste. Next.

Dinky.

Kappa founder Kitty Cooper's hometown?

Little Rock.

(giggles)

Lose the big hair.

This isn't Dallas.

Bye.

Eyebrows... meet tweezers.

Tweezers,

meet your worst nightmare.

(chatter)

I know.

Next. Next.

Next. (sighs)

(Rachel) OK, future sisters.

Get your lazy asses up.

You're gonna clean the bathroom.

(all groan)

At the Beta fraternity house.

(all groan louder)

Sydney, the Kappa Phi Nu colors?

Green and white.

Wrong. Emerald and pearl.

Sorry.

I'm still learning how to speak priss.

(all gasp)

(both yelp/scream)

You know what?

Don't change a thing.

You just keep walking around

looking just like that.

You again.

Oh.

Morning.

Hi.

Sorry you had to do that.

Some of the girls are a little traumatized.
