Christine Tarlington, daughter of the college's largest donor, is rushing the exclusive Lambda Gamma Chi sorority. Her hazing begins with a surprise visit from Brenda, the sorority's sergeant-at-arms, who drives Christine to the sorority's secluded mountain cabin for a very special hazing session--one Brenda aims to be short and deadly.
Headstrong fellow pledge Melissa follows them, ends up saving Christine's life, and the chase begins. Brenda and a trio of scary mountain folk hunt the pledges down the mountain, through the college's underground tunnel system and into a haunted elevator shaft. Christine and Melissa must dodge both corrupt cops and sadistic sorority girls while searching for an answer to the question: "Why does someone want Christine Tarlington dead?"
