FWIW, I find it hard to believe Legally Blonde was based on ANY existing sorority despite what anyone says. Many clueless members claim that the movie's theirs, but no one's been able to actually prove it.

Actually, the poster was given to them by their headquarters because the movie was based on the sorority. I did not come to the conclusion because they had a poster in their basement. They had a big event for the movie and everything.

If you read the book that Legally Blonde is based on, it's Delta Gamma.

I know Fraternity Headquarters did not send all 130+ chapters of Kappa posters for the movie. Why would they send it to just one? In the book, there is a character who is a Kappa and we know Reese Witherspoon did research for her role at several USC sororities, including Kappa, but the movie is definitely not based on the organization.
It wouldn't be the first (and won't be the last) a chapter was misinformed.

I'm not a ZTA, but I don't think this movie is based on ZTA. In all actuality, Headquarters sent letters to the production companies in protest, according to a post on a ZTA forum ( http://greekchat.com/gcforums/showthread.php?t=96918).

There's a movie from 1939 called Sorority House to be shown on TCM Wednesday morning, so I've already set my DVR. Anyone seen it? The user comments on IMDB are pretty favorable, although the plot might be a tad far-fetched. Thing is, with it taking place 70 years ago, I guess we wouldn't know how realistic or not it is.

Sydney White is one of my favorite movies. It's not the best portrayal of sororities, but it's a good movie nevertheless. Funny too.

Just watched Sorority Wars on netflixs the other night with my HS Daughter. It was first aired on Lifetime. It has two moms- Courtney Thorne-Smith and Faith Ford whose daughters are now in college. One is Recruitment Chair and the other is a NPM. It was a cute movie and a good chance for me to remind her to be open minded when she goes through recruitment.

Your description is definitely Revenge of the Nerds, but that's not a one-word name.
