Beverly Hills, 90210 (1990–2000): Season 4, Episode 4 - Greek to Me - full transcript

David and Donna,
still here with you all night long.

Now, call us at 555-KXCU
because we're totally interactive radio,

which means you run the show.

Now, that's the crucial part.
You're the show, so you call us.

Now, with rush week
kicking off tomorrow

I would think a lot of you out there
would have some advice

on scoping out the fraternities
and sororities.

But if that's not your scene,

give us a call at 555-KXCU
and tell us why.

Now, we have been getting some calls
from our regulars.

And we thank you.



Yes, but we'd like to hear
from some real listeners,

so please don't call if your name
just happens to be Brandon,

Brenda, Andrea, Kelly...

Steve?

This isn't working.
No one is calling us, David.

Just give it some time.
It's only been three nights.

Feels more like three years.

- Let's go.
- Hey.

One more time, come on.

Right here, right here.

Here's your pen.
You do one through three.

You do four to seven.
I'll do eight, nine and ten.

Score now.

All right, all right.



Very good. Yes, well done.

You're the one.

Hey, okay.
Who's next? Who's next?

Okay, right here. Right here.

That's a pretty strong... That's good.
You can work on it, though.

Unbelievable.

You know, I'm taking the five away.
That's just a six for you.

Does anyone have any blush?
I look dead when I'm this tired.

You do not.

Donna, I can't believe
I let you talk me into sorority rush.

Neither can I.
But I hope you're right about this

- keeping us from drifting apart.
- You'll thank me.

Suddenly I feel so underdressed.

You're fine, we're all fine.

Yeah, well, I hear one sweaty palm
can ruin your chances.

Great. I have two.

Just be grateful
you're not exhausted.

Rush week, here we come.

We are the Gammas
The mighty, mighty Gammas

Everywhere we go
People wanna know

Who we are, so we tell them

We are the Gammas
The mighty, mighty Gammas

Everywhere we go
People wanna know

Who we are, so we tell them

We are the Gammas
The mighty, mighty Gammas

Everywhere we go
People wanna know

Who we are, so we tell them

We are the Gammas
The mighty, mighty Gammas

Everywhere we go
People wanna know

Somehow I doubt they do this
at Yale.

We are the Gammas
The mighty, mighty Gammas

Let's go.

Everywhere we go
People wanna know

Who we are

- Hut.
- All right, all right.

You're in my zone now.
When are you gonna learn?

I learned. Keep talking, John.

- Anything broken?
- No, I'm fine. Thanks for caring.

Sorority stampede is in progress.
What do you say you give up?

Come on, man,
give us one last down.

One more down.

- Blue deep, ready?
- Ready.

Come on, Brandon. Come on.

Come on.

Hey.

Don't rub it in, Walsh.

Never forget, you're a freshman.

As long as you don't forget
that a freshman just kicked your butt.

It's been real, gentlemen.

Stick around, man.
Watch the parade.

Thanks. I've got time to hit
the showers, get to the student union.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

You've got something better to do
than hang out with us KEGers?

- Sue me. I have a life.
- You're breaking our hearts.

- Take it easy.
- See you later. Good game.

- Good job.
- All right.

- Hey, Bran.
- Yeah.

KEG House doesn't do
a formal rush.

It's more like hanging out
with who-knows-who.

If the president asks you to stick
around, you shouldn't blow him off.

I'm not blowing him off.
I've got people to meet.

You see that, that right there,
that's the wrong attitude.

Watching sorority girls on parade
for the rest of the day is mandatory?

Maybe not. But the house party
tomorrow night definitely is.

Remember, this is our fraternity.

Right and I told you, bro,
I will be there, so sure.

Okay, this one here in the blue.

Very good. Yes, well done.

Definitely an eight.

I'd give her more than an eight.

Are you guys crazy? Trying
to get us thrown off campus or what?

It's the '90s, gentlemen.

Try to show a little sensitivity.

Killjoy.

Yo, man. I'll be right back.

Come on,
we have 14 houses to see.

- Hi, Kelly.
- Hi, John.

- It's been a long time.
- Not long enough.

I guess you're not gonna
introduce us, huh?

- You know Kelly?
- Kind of.

I asked her out in ninth grade.

But she turned me down.

- She turned you down?
- Yep. Come on.

Well, this is the student senate.

Does the faculty have it this good?

They're just the teachers.

We're the people
who really run this place.

- Hi.
- Hi.

I'm Angela Rhodes.

- Hi, nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

So how did you make out
with our favorite dean?

The man is from Mars.

It went that well, huh?

We'll talk about it later.

So Josh has told me a lot about you

and your famous march
on the school board.

I assume that's why I'm here.

So you know that we have
an opening on our slate

for a freshman representative
to the student senate.

- Does that interest you?
- Yes, I'd be very interested in it.

We were hoping you would say that.

But you gotta know that a girl
passing out in her prom dress

is not our kind of issue.

Well, that wasn't our issue either.

We had a school board
superintendent

who was trying to sneak
through dress codes and rules

about drinking
without any student input.

There was no public debate,
no notification, no nothing.

That was our issue.

Better.
But I still don't know what you're about.

All I know
is that you're from Beverly Hills.

Well, I think you can tell
by the way I'm dressed

that I'm not gonna give up shopping
on Rodeo Drive

without a big floor fight, I'll tell you.

Listen, guys, I just don't wanna
coast through college.

This is important to me.

Okay, well, thank you for your time.

- That's it?
- We'll let you know.

- It was nice to meet you, Brandon.
- Nice meeting you too.

- See you.
- See you, man.

Oh, this house is beautiful.
I could almost see myself here.

Almost?

It's Alpha Omega House.

Their philanthropy
is Downey House for Children,

their flower is fleur-de-lis
and their colors are rose and buff.

Oh, I look horrible in buff.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Well, with 30 seconds left to go,

I finally meet the fab four
from West Beverly.

Someone's been talking about us?

Let's see,
summer camp counselors,

elementary school charities,
a Spring Queen, valedictorian.

You guys could start
your own sorority.

Oh, no, well,
this is why they call it rush.

Excuse me.

It was a sincere pleasure
to meet you.

We may not see all of you again, so:

Hasta la vista, baby.

Thanks for coming.
Thanks for coming.

Oh, it's perfect.

Yeah, except their brother fraternity
is the KEG House.

Well, that's Steve's house.
And maybe Brandon's.

It's also John Sears'.

Is that the guy
that you wouldn't talk to before?

Kelly, come, on. Inquiring minds
would really like to know.

- Kelly went out with him in ninth grade.
- Yeah.

I had a huge crush on him
during my walk-all-over-me phase.

- Well, who could blame you?
- He turned out to be the biggest jerk.

I spent one highly regrettable night
with him and his parents' champagne.

The next day he told every senior
he knew.

And he made up stuff too.

He has a fertile imagination.

If he opens his big mouth,

I will have doors slamming in my face
all up and down sorority row.

Kelly, any sorority
would love to have you.

Don't count on it.

A bad rep is the kiss of death.

Even past tense.

Come on.

Yeah, well, I can't talk right now.
I'm in the dorm.

Hi.

Well, this is an Andrea Zuckerman
I haven't seen before.

Why, thank you, Mr. Dan Rubin.
I should be thanking you, right?

Absolutely. You look great.

- What's the occasion?
- I'm rushing.

As in rushing?

Surprise, surprise.

Which one of the houses
do you like best?

Well, my friends and I
like Alpha Omega the best.

Really?

I would have thought you'd be
zeroing in on the Jewish sororities.

Oh, and if I was Asian,
I should only look at Asian sororities.

If I was African American,

I should only look
at African American sororities.

Some kind
of resident adviser you are.

I didn't invent the system.

But I bet in the end,
you'll find yourself in a Jewish sorority.

Are you saying
that there's anti-Semitism?

No, just birds of a feather
flocking together.

You know what I think?

The minute someone
shows a little enthusiasm,

the cynics of the world get nervous.

Have a nice day, counselor.

- Hey, stranger.
- Hey.

Where are you hiding yourself?

Oh, over at sorority row, watching
everybody out-smile each other.

Yeah, Kelly's been telling me
a lot about it. So please spare me.

I don't believe my luck.
This is the second school in a row

- that I didn't get the classes I wanted.
- Really?

I got everything. English 135B.
I'm in this class too.

Poetry of the Young Romantics.

You are?

Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
Lindley Hall.

Well, great.
You can help me with my homework.

- You wanna get some coffee?
- No, I'm sorry.

I've got to go meet the girls
for a rush-week recap.

Are you really into that?

I'm trying.

Thanks, guys.

- Hey there, Mr. Walsh.
- Yeah.

We were just about to call your house.
Congratulations, Mr. Senator.

Well, thank you.
You guys were a tough room.

Well, now
we have to get you elected.

- So we should talk strategy.
- And finalize the party platform.

- Great, I'll be there.
- You're gonna be very busy.

I was hoping you'd say that.

Hey, Steve. John.

- Bran.
- Sanders, come on.

They must still be mad
since I trounced them

in the football game today.

How do you know those guys?

Steve, the blond one,
is a buddy of mine from high school.

- High school buddies, huh?
- Yeah.

Well, you're not in high school
anymore, Brandon.

- Yeah, so we'll catch up with you.
- Right.

Walsh. Party for four, over there.

- I'm so pleased you could join us.
- I know I'm late, I'm sorry.

- Really late.
- Really, really late.

I'm really, really sorry,
but I don't understand

why we have to open up the first round
of sorority invitations together.

All for one and one for all.

Come on, let's do it so I can grab
a nap before the radio show.

I'm so nervous. How can they make
cuts based on meeting us once?

Just relax. Okay, ready, all together.

- Alpha.
- Alpha.

- Alpha.
- Alpha.

Yes. We are on our way.

Now, I remember why I did this
with you guys.

We made it through the first cut,
but pace yourself,

there are two more rounds to go.

Two more rounds?

My son, the senator.

The next Jack Kennedy, right here.

Dad, I said student senate,
did you hear me say "student"?

You heard me, didn't you, Mom?

But a lot of very important people
got started just this way.

How do you think future presidents
of the United States learn the ropes?

Would you tell him to get a grip,
Mom?

- Get a grip.
- Get a grip, Dad.

- Hey, hey.
- Hey.

Did you hear what happened
to your brother?

Yes, and I'm hoping it will lead

to a better parking spot on campus
for his sister.

Don't worry, my sister,
I will not forget the little people.

There you go. Now,
you're talking like a politician, son.

So, what does this Progressive Party
stand for?

Good stuff.

You know, they take a hard line
on racism, elitism, chauvinism, sexism.

Your basic isms.

The politically-correct crowd.

Call it what you will.

What are they gonna think
about you partying

till you drop at the KEG House?

KEG's progressive.

Oh, right,
they recycle their beer bottles.

That's right,
and I'm sure it will be just fine.

Well, you're lucky.

When we were in college,
things got kind of polarized.

Well, that's for sure.

Somehow the way people felt
about fraternities and sororities

got all tangled up with how they felt
about the Vietnam War.

Yeah, it wasn't always friendly.

The Greeks were perceived
to be pretty conservative.

Well, I wouldn't worry about it, guys.

And in case you haven't heard,
the war's over.

Hello, Los Angeles.

It's 2:00 in the morning
and you've guessed it,

this is David and Donna,
with you till dawn.

- And we're totally interactive radio.
- No, no, no.

We're not totally interactive.

We're not totally interactive at all.
What we are is exhausted.

Put on some music, okay?

Well, what do you wanna hear?

Obviously,
whatever's in the CD player.

Oh, there's nothing in the CD player.

Donna, there's nothing
in the CD player

because you forgot
to load up the CD player.

Now, I think our audience
deserves better than that.

"Audience," David.

What audience?
There's no one out there.

That's because
you're screaming at them.

What are you cueing up?

Whatever's on the turntable.

Problems, kids.

Pronto.

Brandon, it's me. I'm downstairs.

- Downstairs where?
- Downstairs of your house.

I saw your light on.

I don't wanna wake everybody
by ringing the doorbell.

And what about the phone, Steve?

Isn't it possible that a ringing phone
could wake someone?

Just get your butt down here
and spare me the lecture, okay?

And to what do I owe
this unexpected pleasure?

I couldn't sleep.
It's probably nothing, but...

Of course.

That's why you came all the way
over here in the middle of the night.

- You're coming to that party, right?
- I told you I'd be there, yeah.

KEG House rush is that party.
So be on your best behavior.

Did you come all the way over here
just to tell me that?

No, I couldn't help thinking
about what John Sears said.

What are you doing hanging out
with those political guys?

Because they're running me
for student senate.

Oh, great. The KEG House
is gonna flip over that.

Steve, I thought maybe you'd at least
feign a little excitement for me.

Don't expect me to be too stoked.

Those guys have it in for Greek life.

I don't think they even care
about Greek life.

All I know is the KEG crew
hates their guts. Okay?

Sears doesn't even allow the pledges
to hang out with those weasels.

- I really don't care.
- I thought we were gonna

- stick together.
- We are.

I've got this bad feeling,
like joining this fraternity

is gonna cost me my best friend.

- Come on, man, you're being stupid.
- You gotta make a choice, Brandon.

Not at 2:00 in the morning, I don't.

Relax. I'll be at the party.

Now, go home and get some sleep,
all right?

Don't say I didn't warn you.

Have you ever seen
so many perfect-looking people?

What planet are we on?

Okay, ladies, on the count of three,
mingle and impress.

So are you narrowing
your choices down?

Well, I really love the feel
of this place.

Thanks.

I know this is gonna sound
too good to be true,

but we really are a family here.

And we're looking for people
who might fit in.

Pretty big family.

Yeah, tell me about it,
I'm an only child.

So am I.

Well, that's not all we have
in common.

I was the editor
of my high school newspaper too.

Did you try out for the paper here
when you were a freshman?

Yeah. Yeah, I did until they asked me
to review a friend's play.

I had to review a friend's restaurant.

I wish I had met you last week.
I could have used your advice.

You want some advice?

Think Alpha House.

Come on, I'll show you around.

- Can that be any louder?
- It's metal and rap. Do you like it?

No.

I'm trying to sleep.

The sorority is having a '70s party
at the KEG House tonight

and I'm exhausted.

Well, who said you had to rush
a sorority in the first place?

I heard that, David.
It wasn't very nice.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come here.

I'm sorry.

I've gotta take a nap.

Yeah, well, I know
what I wanna do right now.

So do I.

Sleep.

Okay.

It is a theme party
at Steve's fraternity.

Yeah, what's the theme?

One of the great ones,
you know, man versus nature?

Appearance versus reality?

Disco Fever.

I'll tell you what, I missed Disco Fever
the first time around, Kel.

What makes you think
I wanna catch it?

For me?

Can't you just break your little
no-frat rule just this once, please?

Listen, I thought we agreed
we'd go our separate ways

on this party-hardy stuff.

Fine. Forget I ever asked you.

- Do you hate me?
- Yes, I hate you.

But I love you more.

Good. I'll talk to you later.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Bye.

God, I love college.

Classes haven't even started yet.

- Classes?
- This is the best. It's the best.

Do me a favor
and tell Brandon that, okay?

- Would you like to dance?
- The best.

Donna, wake up.

Oh, we've gotta keep moving
or I'm gonna crash, come on.

Yeah, she's rushing Alpha House.

Hey, are John and Leslie tight?

John and everybody are tight.

Hey, you knew him at West Beverly,
right?

- Why? Did he say I did?
- He remembers you fondly.

Give me the gory details.
What exactly did he say?

He said he had a thing for you,
but you weren't interested.

I love this song.

Oh, Brandon,
why am I not having any fun?

Well, for starters, Bren, you're not
wearing your platform shoes.

Well, if that would help, I would.
Believe me,

I mean, usually, I have fun at parties.

This isn't a party, Bren,
this is a way of life.

You know, I like the idea of all of us
having something together,

but I guess I'm just not a joiner.

Substitute the word fraternity
for sorority,

you've just described what's going on
between me and Steve.

Could it be that we're related?

- Hey, hey, hey.
- Hey, Mr. KEG Man.

So are you and your girlfriend
up to a little nine-ball?

I'm not his girlfriend. I'm his sister.

And thanks for the offer,
but, no, I'm leaving.

- Bye, babe.
- Bye, Bren.

Your sister is cute.

Is she available?

Don't even think about it, man.
Get out of here.

John is an incredible guy.
I didn't realize you knew him.

Actually, I haven't said a word to John
in over three years.

Well, looks like you might be able
to make up for lost time.

- Now is your chance.
- Hi.

Hi.

Let's go dance.

So you having a good time?

Yeah, everybody is.

Wow, you look dazzling.

Must be the polyester.

I'm really glad you made it.
A bit surprised too, actually.

I was afraid
you weren't gonna show up.

I don't get it.

Aren't you the same guy
who spent a year trying to ruin my life?

No, I'm not that guy anymore.

Do you wanna go outside?
It's quieter.

I owe you a big apology.

Yeah, you do.

I've really tried to grow up
since then, Kelly.

Have you had any success?

You could find out for yourself.

You've changed a lot.
Maybe I have too.

Kelly? We're about to take off.

Donna, this is John Sears.

- This is my roommate, Donna.
- Hi.

I know who he is.
Well, we better get going.

Actually, I think
I'm gonna stick around.

John and I
have some catching up to do.

- Are you sure?
- Yeah.

Okay. Well, there's always 911.

I can guess what that was about.

She has a good memory.

Fair enough.

You wanna dance?

Sure.

So you always dress
like Donny Osmond, man?

Only when the frat throws
a Disco Fever party.

How did a comedy genius
like yourself,

ever become the president
of Animal House?

Well, I look good in a jacket and tie,
promising the disciplinary committee,

"It will never ever happen again, sir. "

I've done enough of that myself.

Two Boy Scouts.

- You know where Oroville is?
- No, I don't think so.

In the mountains,
north of Sacramento.

We have two attractions:

The ice breaking on Oro Lake
in the spring

and high school sports.

Ten kids from Oro made it to college
my senior year.

I came here to play football.

So why aren't you playing?

Tore up my shoulder halfway
through the sophomore season.

The second the doctors gave up,

the coaches, players
and cheerleaders, they all disappeared.

But my fraternity brothers...

They made you president.

The best people in this whole school

are right here
at Kappa Epsilon Gamma,

including Steve Sanders.

Well, he's no model citizen,
but he is a good friend, man.

You know,
he talks about you all the time.

- He thinks of you as a brother.
- I feel the same way about him.

He also says you might be running
for student senate.

Yeah, for the Progressives.

What do you think about that?

Well, I think that nobody here
is trying to pressure you

into anything one way or the other.

But you can't have both, Brandon.

And I hope you appreciate
what you might be passing up.

I can't believe that
you have one of these every week.

Friday nights at the KEG House.

It's the one thing around here
that you can count on.

And one of the advantages
to being an Alpha.

And there seems to be
the right mix of...

Cute guys?

Yeah, that's right.

I should warn you that you're not
gonna find a lot of Jewish guys here.

Is that a problem?

- Why would it be?
- No reason.

Oh, there's the head
of the Inter-Greek Council.

I've got to go catch her
before she leaves.

Hey, I see somebody bailed
from the party early.

Did you have a good time?

I OD'd. Over-discoed.

Yeah.

- Was Kelly having a good time?
- Yeah, everybody was.

Not everybody,
because you're sitting here.

Hey, you weren't even brave enough
to give it a try.

I just wasn't that stupid, Bren.

I just thought that if there was anything
Kelly, Donna and Andrea

and I could do together,
it would be join a sorority.

- But I just can't.
- So don't.

I guess I'm afraid
that I'm gonna lose my friends.

Well, to tell you the truth, Bren,

I couldn't really see myself
with the sorority-girl type either.

But Kelly seems to enjoy it,
it's probably harmless.

I mean it, really, it's fine.

So, what are you saying, I should
just join the sorority with the others?

No, I'm saying that you should do
what is right for you

and the rest of it
will take care of itself.

This is David and Donna.

All by ourselves.

Give us a call.

We're waiting.

Oh, please. No one's gonna call.

See? Look.

No calls, nothing, zippo,
less than zippo.

I mean, what do guys know
about waiting for someone to call?

You're losing it.

Oh, sure, you would think so.

But all you girls out there,

you know exactly
what I'm talking about.

I mean, you can sit and wait forever
for a guy to call you

but then when he wants you,
he's all over you.

Like David here. This afternoon,
he couldn't leave me alone, could you?

I was happy to see you.

Well, gals,
here's a little riddle for you:

What starts pawing you
the second you get home

because they're happy to see you?

You give up?

D- O-G. Dog.

Are you calling me a dog?

Honey, if the fur fits, wear it.

- Cool bit, huh?
- Yeah.

Yeah, you're a major talent.

It's a real honor
to share a booth with you.

David, don't be mad at me,
I thought the dog bit was funny.

Donna, your mike is on.

I can't believe
you actually know these two.

Donna hasn't slept all week.
She's usually not that bad.

- Or maybe she is.
- Yeah, she's pretty wacky.

You don't have to live with them.

I'd trade places with them in a minute
to be closer to you.

What kind of line is that?
You haven't changed at all.

John, I have a boyfriend.

Well, where is he?

Because if you were my girlfriend
I'd be with you at every party

just to keep guys like me
from crawling all over you.

Well, Dylan's not that big on parties.

Maybe Dylan's not that big on you.

He is.
You don't know anything about him.

I better go.

Can I call you?

It's been really good to see you again,
but I'd rather you didn't.

I might anyway.

Surprise. Surprise.

Is something wrong?

The party was over and I didn't have
anybody to go home with.

Well, you're home now.

I missed you.

I missed you too.

Dylan, I was wondering something.

What?

Why can't you be more
like everybody else?

Is that really what you want?

No. Not really.

I didn't think so.

- I don't wanna talk about it.
- I'm sure no one was even listening.

- Yeah, except our closest friends.
- David.

- Thanks, guys.
- What are friends for?

- Come on, admit it, bro.
- All right, all right.

The brothers know how to party.
You happy now?

I'm getting there.

Well, I like that Charlie Dixon.
He's a classy guy.

The whole fraternity is classy,
Brandon.

And from what my sources tell me,

to pledge, all we have to do
is show up on Saturday.

Brandon, you got the word
on the meeting tonight?

Yeah, 8:00 sharp.
Student Senate Room.

Right. We'll be going over
the fine print in the platform,

so be ready for a long night.

Cool.
Steve Sanders, Josh Richland.

- Josh, Steve.
- Hello.

- A pleasure.
- Yeah, right.

There's some other stuff we should
talk about, but we can do it later.

Sure.

Finalize the fine print.

Now, that sounds like a party, man.

There is just no way a fraternity
can compete with that.

Yeah, right.

It's not like my being Jewish
is a secret.

I mean, how many Zuckermans
have you met who aren't Jewish?

Told you so.

See, but maybe
she didn't mean anything by it.

Maybe.

Could be there's a bounty
for the Alpha

that bags the most Jewish girls.

Yeah, but then why would she care
if I dated only Jewish guys?

Do you only date Jewish guys?

After this, maybe I will.

Good. Then I have a chance.

Dan, please.

No, really, I'm trying to understand
what happened.

I mean, she gave me this pitch

that was supposed to be
one big family.

- Everyone's supposed to fit in.
- That's the basic Greek attitude.

Yeah, but I thought she meant
that I'd fit in.

This could be her way of asking
if being Jewish is something

you're willing to check at the door.

Well, if that's the question,
I know how to get an answer.

Shouldn't we at least consider
how we're gonna pay

for all the additional security
we're demanding?

No, we shouldn't.

- Are you done?
- Almost.

What I'm really concerned with
is Priority 9.

The removal of all Panhellenic
sororities and fraternities

from the university campus.

What? You think it should read
"all fraternity and sorority types"?

Look, we know it's ambitious,
but this could be a real rallying point.

Wait a minute, 90 percent
of the incoming freshmen

couldn't get the classes
they needed.

The library closes early
four days a week.

How can one of our priorities
be to bash other students?

You know how much
of your student activities fee

goes to floats
and candlelight ceremonies?

And that money can go
to the Chicano Cultural Project

or to daycare for single mothers.

Okay, wait, let me make it simple.

The Greeks are elitist
and they're racist.

If you have some thoughts on how
to get rid of them, we're all ears.

Let's hold on a second.

Some of my best friends
are pledging sororities and fraternities

at this very moment,
and they are neither elitist nor racist.

Greeks are more inclusive

than half the groups
you want to increase funding for.

Are you gonna hold us up
on every issue?

There's a lot more I disagree with
if that's what you're asking.

You're being a pain.
We're moving on.

- I'm not finished.
- Yes, you are.

Well, I can't run this platform,
ladies and gentlemen.

Find yourself
another fair-haired boy.

Hi, Andrea.

What are you doing here?

Can I come in?

Sure.

The candlelight ceremony
was really moving.

I loved it.

What got into you, huh?

What'd you have to wear
the star for?

I pulled for you all week long.

The girls were all ready
to accept you.

But not if I'm Jewish.

Are you crazy?

I'm Jewish.

I had no idea.

Yeah, well,
everybody in the sorority knows.

And everybody is fine with it.

- They are?
- Of course.

Because I don't flaunt it.
That's the trick.

So there's a trick.

You've got a real problem,
you know that.

I have a problem?

When you go to synagogue
on the High Holy Days,

what do you tell
your sorority sisters?

That you're off to the mall?

If you want to join a temple,
join one.

But Alpha-O is a sorority.

You're right, it is,

and I would like you
to withdraw my name

because I don't wanna be
a part of it.

- What are you doing with that dog?
- It's my aunt's.

- Well, lose it.
- In a minute.

I don't wanna hold it.
Would you please take it?

Why don't you be a little more friendly,
okay?

Okay, dog, now you chill out.

Since my "guys are dogs" analogy
seemed to get the fur flying a bit,

I thought I'd put it to the test tonight
by doing a side by side comparison.

Now, I got the guy, David Silver,
and I got the dog.

Now, here's the scientific part,
the dog's name is Silver too.

Donna, please.

Silver, sit.

My first observation, the dog appears
to be smarter than the guy.

This is great, go right ahead.

Lose all three people
who are listening to us right now.

Okay, now, for the touch test.

I've got my left hand on the guy
and I got my right hand on the dog.

The guy feels pretty great.

Hairy-back alert for the dog.
One point for the guy.

Well, for what it's worth,
I don't have fleas either.

Could you please move on with this?

Okay, now. Let me throw this one out
to all you female listeners.

How many of you out there
think that your dog loves you more

than your boyfriend?

We're standing by. I'm just trying
to lighten things up a bit between us.

Well, you should have left
bad enough alone.

David.

- Yes.
- No way, there's people listening to us.

We have an audience.

Can you believe this?

Well, before we handle
our many calls here,

I'd just like to mention my guy
is definitely a better kisser

than the dog, really.

I don't know who I'm madder at.

Alpha House, Leslie
or myself for thinking

that a blue-eyed blond
couldn't be Jewish.

It sounds to me like she's the one
who doesn't want anyone to know.

If I was you, I'd give myself a break.

I don't think I'm the only one
giving myself a hard time here.

All you're doing
is not joining a sorority

that you probably
wouldn't have joined anyway.

I, on the other hand,
have to explain to my father

why I'm throwing away
my future life in politics.

Brandon, this Richland guy
has got a grudge against everyone.

You're probably doing
the right thing.

After what happened to you,
I'm not sure about the Greeks.

Well, that might just be
Alpha House.

I mean, we know KEG House

is the least discriminating place
on the planet Earth.

They'll take anybody
who can chug a beer.

I know, now, Steve's gonna assume
I'm a shoo-in to join.

Well, aren't you?

Well, I like the guys and everything
but I'm just not sure.

Andrea.

I know I'm probably
the last person you wanna see

but I need to speak to you.

In private.

Look, anything you have
to say to me

you can say in front
of my friend Brandon.

Well, when I told the girls
that you withdrew your name,

they were really upset.

They didn't care
about your Star of David

or your religion or anything but you.

That's what they say,

but they obviously
don't make you feel that way.

It's not the Alpha House.

It's me.

And what do you expect from a girl
whose family changed their last name

from Schulman to Sumner?

Listen, you two obviously
have a lot to talk about.

I'm gonna excuse myself.

Oh, how rude of me.

Brandon Walsh,
this is Leslie Sumner Schulman.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Gentlemen.

It says here in the Progressive Party
platform that we are the elite.

No, John, that's elitist.

I just thought you guys should know

they're trying to dismantle
the whole Greek system.

Hey, looks like we've moved up
to Priority Number 9 this year.

Can you fight it?

They do this every year
and then they realize

that the Greek alumnus contribute
83 percent of CU's endowment.

We're here to stay.

Yeah, but that's not the point.

No, the point is you were willing
to fight for our right to party.

I'm so glad I burned my bridge
to the White House for you guys.

Well, look on the bright side,
you're no longer a weasel-in-training.

You're a KEG man.

Listen, Steve, you're my best friend
and everything but...

Pledge with me.

You've got 50 new brothers here.

I kind of feel like I wanna do this
on my own for a while, you know?

You're GDI, Walsh.

That's frat speak for?

The I is for "independent. "

The GD you can guess yourself,
cowboy.

Join or not join.

For what you did for us,

we're making you
an honorary member.

That, you cannot turn down.
